Research Interests:

I am a structural geologist, and my research focuses on active tectonic settings where the interplay between deep and shallow processes can be explored. My main interests can be summarised in:

• Active tectonics
• Fault monitoring
• Earthquake geology
• Tectonic geomorphology (morphotectonics)
• Paleoseismology

Career:

Post-doctoral research fellow, GFZ-Potsdam  —  April 2019-present

Sessional lecturer, Royal Holloway University of London, UK  —  2018

Teaching Assistant, Royal Holloway University of London, UK  —  2013-2018

Education:

Ph.D. in Earth Sciences, Royal Holloway University of London, UK

M.Sc. in Geosciences, University of Turin, Italy

B.Sc. in Geological Sciences, University of Turin, Italy

Projects:

Tectonics and recent kinematics of the Kefalonia-Lefkada transform fault zone, Greece

The tectonic evolution of the eastern Adriatic margin: understanding the implications of subduction of the Ocean-to-Continent transition in terms of surface deformation and seismic hazard in Albania, North Macedonia, and Greece

Etna CREEP - onshore Creepmeter monitoring of the unstable SE flank of Mount Etna, Italy (2021-2026)

Morphotectonics and numerical modelling of marine terraces and river profile evolution at subduction margins
