Wissenschaftliche Interessen:

Geologist who codes 

I try to understand the fault mechanics in rifts by considering the faults as a network that evolves.

Originally a field and structural geologist, I have learnt programming through my various experiences and enjoy using it to develop innovative techniques for understanding geodynamic processes. Developer of Fatbox, the fault analysis toolbox, design to quantify the geometry and evolution of normal faults network from various data sources. I am also very interested in analogue modelling, to recreate earth processes in a sandbox and see millions of years of evolution live.

I like to share science and marvel at the beauty of the Earth.
