Research Interests

My research addresses the interaction of tectonic, climatic, magmatic processes and sea-level variations on erosion and deposition in the source-to-sink system.

In my research, I integrate a variety of tools:

Field observations (sedimentology, stratigraphy, structural geology)
Numerical modelling (petrological thermomechanical, thermokinematic, stratigraphic forward modelling)
Low-temperature thermochronology
