I am seismologist and my current research is about imaging mantle structure using elaborate inverse methods to better understand the mantle dynamics. Recently, I’ve been applying the Backus-Gilbert inversion to surface-wave tomography to build images of the upper-mantle, with a direct control over their resolution and uncertainties.
Currently, I am involved in the MC2 (Mantle Circulation Constrained) large NERC grant project. I collaborate with researchers from various fields in solid Earth sciences and our joint aim is to bring together observations to constrain mantle circulation simulations. I am also in the Deepscape group, working with Paula Koelemeijer.
Previously I did my PhD at the ITES (Institut Terre et Environnement de Strasbourg) in France with Alessia Maggi, Christophe Zaroli and Sophie Lambotte on Backus-Gilbert inversion applied to surface-wave tomography, in the frameworks of ray theory and finite-frequency theory, with applications to the Pacific region.
