Fields of interest:

marine geophysics, seismic imaging, submarine active fault systems, mid-ocean ridges

I am a marine geophysicist specialized in seismic imaging. I have used seismic reflection data, ranging from deep penetration to shallow high-resolution, to study active faulting in a variety of structural settings (Marmara Sea, Lebanese offshore, Sumatran subduction zone). I am also interested in mid-ocean ridge processes. At Lamont I will participate in the first 3D seismic survey carried out by the R/V Langseth on the East Pacific Rise.
