Research interests

My research intersects observational, theoretical, and computational geophysics, focusing on the development of advanced subsurface imaging techniques. My interests revolve around mathematical methods applied to Earth Sciences, including inverse theory, optimization, Monte Carlo methods, and, more recently, optimal transport theory. Additionally, I am interested in machine learning and numerical modelling.
