Decoding the deformation of rocky worlds.
My research focuses on deciphering the tectonic evolution of planets.
I utilize ground-truth observations from satellite imagery, combined with numerical and analogue modeling approaches, to investigate the endogenic processes that shape planetary bodies. As a geologist, my research objective is to constrain the temporal evolution of endogenic processes and to evaluate the extent to which terrestrial analogues enhance our understanding of the geodynamic and tectonic evolution of other planetary bodies through comparative planetology.
