About

Using 2 and 3D seismic data, I investigate the interactions between turbiditic sedimentation, overpressure and structural deformation at the lateral margin of a gravity detachment system.

This research has implications in terms of petroleum exploration and better understanding of marine geological processes.

A first theme in my works focused on the study of a regional-scale strike-slip fault. I then analyzed a case study of interaction processes between sedimentation, structural growth and overpressure. I am now interested in the spatial relationships between submarine channel systems and tear fault zones.

In addition to my academic research, I also developed my geology skills and ability to work in a commercial team during two industry internships (ENI and Total).
