Research interests

■Characterization of fluid-mediated mineralogical replacements and impact on rocks’ properties and deformation

■ Relationships between fracturing and pressure-solution during deformation in limestones and impact on the reservoir properties and rock mechanics

■ Quantification of pressure, temperature and chemistry evolution of paleofluid in rocks during deformation in the upper crust

■ Quantification of stress evolution in fold-and-thrust belts by the mean of inversion methods applied to micro/meso structures
