I am an earthquake engineer and scientist. After completing my postdoctoral research at Caltech, I am now working as a structural engineer in nuclear civil engineering in France, while continuing my research on earthquake and geohazard topics.
I particularly combine computational mechanics, theoretical and observational seismology, and big data, crosscutting the themes below:
- Earthquake source physics - Fault and fracture mechanics - Wave propagation in complex media - Fault damage zones and site effects - Soil dynamics and liquefaction - Ground deformation at local/urban scale - Multi-physics and multi-scale modeling - Empirical Green's functions and source relocation - Soil-structure interaction - Structural mechanics for nuclear civil engineering designI created this website to easily share my work with you. It's dynamically updated. Thanks for looking, and stay tuned!
