LIVING ROCKS...
"The mind seemed to grow giddy by looking so far into the abyss of time."
Sir James Hall
I'm fascinated by rock mechanics and how deformation is accommodated at different scales.
I conduct microstructural analyses in rocks subjected to natural and/or experimental deformation, then I model their mechanical properties, including strength, seismic (elastic), and viscous anisotropy. My goal is to unravel the intricate interplay between rock microstructure and composition in the heterogeneous mechanical behavior of the Earth's crust and mantle.
