Doctoral student
I am a PhD candidate at SED since September 2020.
Experimental observations can advance our understanding on earthquake physics and improve forecasting models. I conduct laboratory experiments in the LabQuake triaxial exploring among others, how preparatory processes of earthquake nucleation are linked with fault surface characteristics.
