Research focus
My research focuses on the fundamental understanding of lithospheric deformation and the initiation, growth and decay of crustal structures across the scales. My research interest concentrates around two main topics: 1) The influence of preexisting structures on the development of continental rifted margins, 2) Fault-sediment interaction and the evolution of sedimentary basins. I integrate onshore and offshore geophysical and well data, outcrop data and analog models to study the crustal deformation and the evolution of sedimentary basins.
