I am an Earth Scientist who seeks at understanding the coupling of deep crustal and upper mantle processes to deformation at or close to the surface. Of particular interest in this context is the influence of the rheological stratification of the lithosphere on the localisation of strain, strain partitioning and the structural and topographic development of collision zones and rift systems. These topics are adressed through a combination of field studies and physical analogue modelling.
