I am a quantitative analyst interested in solving complex problems under uncertainty. My background is in geophysics, with an MSc and Doctorate from ETH Zurich, where I focused on the analysis and modelling of complex physical systems. I am particularly interested in applying data-driven and quantitative approaches to real-world decision-making in areas such as risk, sustainability and complex systems.

Fault characteristics: How close is close enough

In this short article, I delve into one of the challenges at geophysics on earthquakes physics. What do the tires of your car have in common with the faults that produce earthquakes?

We know that earthquake nucleation depends among other on fault surface characteristics but how close do we need to look in order to characterise and understand earthquakes?

Strain heterogeneities in laboratory faults driven by roughness and wear

Our new paper on fault stability is out! Interested to find out more about distribute strain sensing with fiber optics, roughness on faults and its evolution and fault stability? This paper is for you!
