About Me

Hi! I am a seismologist and geophysicist. In my research, I use spatio-temporal patterns of seismicity and simple modeling approaches to understand the complexity of seismogenic systems: how they organize and the physical processes underpinning it.

I recently (2026) started working as a Maître de conférences (Asst. Prof.) in the Seismology team of Institut de physique du globe de Paris (IPGP).
