I am a PhD candidate embraced in the area of seismology, precisely in seismic tomography. Passionate by plate tectonics and its impact on both small and wide scale, I decided to pursue my career at the university to become a competent researcher and hopefully a geophysics teacher. My areas of interest are volcanic seismology, seismotectonics and velocity modeling. My determination mixed with my rigorous work and willingness to go far in everything that I do helped me build strong competences in my area of expertise. I am curious and like to enrich my knowledge in diverse areas to create new proficiencies.
