Research Interests:

I  am a geophysicist using seismogeodesy to understand the Earth's deformation and earthquakes. Currently, I am a postdoctoral fellow at the GFZ Seismic Hazard and Risk Dynamics team, in Potsdam, Germany.

My research focuses on understanding Earth's deformation at different spatio-temporal scales and its relationship to earthquakes. I am fascinated by how Space Geodesy (especially GNSS) and Seismology can be combined to understand better why and where earthquakes (will) occur. I tackle such exciting problems along the Chilean subduction zone, and the North Anatolian Fault.

My research topics are:

• Earthquake Cycle

• Earthquake Preparation Phase

• Seismogeodesy

• Seismic and Aseismic slip source inversion
