PostDoc
My research interests vary from earthquake-and cryoseismology towards geology, and understanding subsurface processes using passive seismic techniques and ambient H/V measurements. Currently I am a postdoctoral researcher at the SED and collaborating with the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research. For my project, I will image spatiotemporal variabilities at the basal interface below glaciers through the analysis of ambient H/V measurements, to resolve subglacial changes affecting ice flow dynamics.
