Research interests

My past and current research activities cover several distinct geophysical applications using state-of-the-art signal processing and multidisciplinary approaches (ground and space-based observations), with a primary focus on seismology : volcano-seismology and infrasound, fluvial/environmental seismology and acoustics, experimental and theoretical study of seismic wave propagation in porous media.
