Research Interests
Tectonic evolution of mountain belts, Finite strain and strain history analysis, Deformation mechanisms in rocks
- Field-based structural studies aimed at understanding the tectonic evolution of mountain belts
- Finite strain and strain history analysis aimed at defining deformational patterns and kinematics of structures at all scales
- Microstructural and textural studies to determine grain-scale deformation mechanisms in rocks and their implications for large-scale mechanics of deformation
- Geometrical, theoretical and mathematical modeling studies to place constraints on kinematics and mechanics of deformation
