I am a postdoctoral research assistant in seismology interested in exploring the evolution of plate tectonics through space and time. My research involves applying a diverse range of seismological analyses to map the structure and dynamics of the Earth’s crust and mantle, spanning a variety of tectonic environments: from terminal-stage subduction zones in the Eastern Mediterranean to deciphering the processes involved in continental breakup and plume-lithosphere interactions along the East African Rift. More recently, I have been investigating parts of central and southern Africa that retain the geological imprints of ancient tectonic processes, such as the Pan African orogeny, which unfolded early in Earth’s tectonic history.
