I am working as a postdoctoral researcher.

My research focuses on the monitoring of (micro-)seismicity in geothermal and CO₂ storage projects using Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS). I am especially interested in understanding seismic source processes and developing novel approaches to event characterization and fibre-optic monitoring.

Current projects involve work at field sites such as Bedretto Underground Laboratory and Mont Terri Rock Laboratory, in close collaboration with the FOSLab (Fiber-Optic Sensing Laboratory) at SED.
