About me
About me
As a global seismologist, I use seismic waves to understand the Earth’s interior structures and seismic energy sources, employing mathematical tools such as signal processing, numerical modeling, and geophysical inference. To date, one of my visible contributions has been to help better understand the architecture of the seismic wavefield several hours after large earthquakes and to use it to decipher several long-standing puzzles regarding the Earth’s inner core. My ongoing research aims to expand the seismological toolbox to advance research on these topics, focusing on understanding the structures and dynamics of the polar ice sheets in Antarctica and Greenland under a changing climate.
