Summary
I am a field geologist specialized in structural geology, metamorphic petrology and petrochronology. I teach core courses in structural geology, metamorphic petrology and field geology, and supervise student projects. My research is focused on the parameters controlling the rheology of the lithosphere, with a particular interest in subduction zones, treating natural cases in order to consider their natural complexity. Recently, I developed my research portfolio toward pedagogical research, studying the impact of teaching fieldwork virtually instead of outdoor on the student learning experience. I am particularly interested in engaging students as partners in Higher Education and working toward improving Equity, Diversity and Inclusivity in Geosciences.
Together with Dominik Weiss, I am the ESE Undergraduate Senior Tutor. I am also part of the EDIC Committee.
