I am a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Alaska Fairbanks within the Geophysical Institute and Department of Geosciences. I work under the supervision of Carl Tape in the Seismology and Geodesy group. My main research interests are geophysical inverse problems and uncertainty quantification, that I have applied on adjoint tomography and seismic source characterization. In my research, I develop and apply numerical methods to solve seismological inverse problems using waveforms recorded by seismic stations.

Before joining UAF, I graduated with a Ph.D. from the Université Grenoble-Alpes (France), where I worked under the supervision of Romain Brossier and Ludovic Métivier, within the SEISCOPE consortium. There, I worked on developing a new uncertainty quantification framework for full waveform inversion, based on Data Assimilation techniques inspired from the field of numerical weather prediction. I love exploring ideas from other fields of research onto seismological problems.
