Research interests

I am an enthusiastic geodynamicist passionate about mantle convection and its link to several processes at Earth's surface, such as volcanism. I develop numerical models to understand how these convective dynamics drive magmatism in the uppermost asthenosphere. My interest lies principally in mechanisms at the root of intra-plate volcanism and mid-ocean ridges. I compare the timing, location, volume, and incompatible element composition of modelled volcanic outputs with available observations at Earth's surface. My overarching goal is to provide tighter constraints on the physical and chemical processes controlling the magmatic activity.
