Academic interests

3G Geoscientist and Doctor in Geosciences. Expertise in Applied. My area of interest encompasses the use of geophysical methods for subsurface investigation (logging, seismic reflection, ground penetrating radar), the study of the Messinian Salinity Crisis (MSC), salt tectonics, tectono-stratigraphic studies of sedimentary basins, and the study fluids circulation and trapping.

See my publications in ResearchGate.
