Currently researcher (förskare) at the Earth Sciences departement of Uppsala University, I am working with the applied geophysics group on the Caledonian orogeny and on active faulting in Scandinavia. Before a one year assistant lectureship in Grenoble University (France) in 2016/2017, I was a post-doctor at Uppsala University (Sweden) in the geophysics group. I am deeply involved in the COSC-1 drilling project which aims to investigate processes associated to the Collisional Orogeny in the Scandinavian Caledonides and compare them with active mountain belts. Previously, I completed my PhD thesis entitled ‘Lateral variations of crustal deformations in the Himalayas’ at Géosciences Montpellier (France). In this thesis, I brought new constraints on the lateral variations of crustal structure and of Quaternary deformation in the Himalayas using gravimetry, seismotectonics and numerical modelling.


My research activities mostly focus on geodynamics of mountain belts and associated tectonic processes at different time scales. My principal tools of investigation are geophysical imaging (gravimetry, seismics, seismology) to decipher crustal structures and tectonic geomorphology to observe and quantify active deformation in orogens (geomorphology, topography, static and kinematic GNSS, cosmonucleid dating). I use these observations and geophysical data to constrain numerical models (2D and 3D thermo-mechanical finite element modelling) of different geodynamical contexts. The main areas I work on are the Scandinavian Caledonides, the Himalayas, the Alps and Taiwan.
