I am a tenure-track assistant professor at the University of Lausanne and leader of the DeTect research group.
My research focuses on geological fractures and faults, leveraging modern mapping and analysis techniques and analogue models to unravel the deformation history of the Earth’s crust. I am fascinated by structural inheritance, particularly how brittle deformation is influenced by older geological features.
As an Earth scientist, I pursue both research that yields fundamental insights into geological processes and applied research that serves society. I am particularly keen to link my work to harnessing natural resources sustainably and assessing and mitigating geological hazards.
Having lived on four continents, I strive to make an impact that extends beyond national borders. I am passionate about fostering a positive workplace culture, especially in science academia. I am part of the 2021-22 Homeward Bound (#TeamHB7) cohort – a global leadership initiative for women and non-binary leaders in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine (STEMM) – to elevate leadership practices towards a sustainable future.
