Research Interests:

Multi-scale seismic structure (from shallow crust to upper mantle)
Inverse problem theory and applications
Seismic anisotropy
Passive seismic techniques

Biographical Sketch:

As a geophysicist, I am interested in the development of new methodologies for unveiling the structure of the Earth at different scales, from shallow-crust to the upper-mantle, with a focus on the anisotropic properties of the materials. This includes designing new algorithms for solving geophysical inverse problems. Bayesian statistics and Monte Carlo methods are the two frameworks in which I develop my codes. As a seismologist, I focused my researches on shallow-crust exploration using passive seismic techniques, like Receiver Function and Local Earthquake Tomography. Field measurements required to test the new methodologies are usually recorded by myself during temporary seismic experiments.
