Research and professional experience
2021- present - Marie Skłodowska-Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship, Department of Earth Sciences, Sapienza – University of Rome. Principal Investigator (PI) of the PÜSKÜRÜM project: Characterisation of the late Pleistocene pyroclastic deposits in Central Anatolia to reconstruct the recent explosive volcanic history, synchronise sedimentary records, and better assess volcanic hazards in Turkey
2019 – 2021 - Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Tephrochronology at the University of Oxford (UK) on the MexiDrill project: Developing a 350,000-year record of climate and environmental change in tropical North America. PI: Prof. Victoria Smith (School of Archaeology).
2018 - Geologist at the Observatory of the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources (MARN) of El Salvador (duties: volcanic and earthquakes Geology, volcano monitoring, tephrostratigraphy, risk assessment, divulgation, etc.).
Research topics
- Tephrochronology (i.e. tephra correlations by chemical fingerprint, tephrostratigraphy and geochronological dating) and characterization of proximal pyroclastic deposits.
- Physical volcanology and reconstruction of eruptive histories (including large explosive eruptions).
- Volcano-tectonic processes during formation and geologic evolution of collapse calderas (including analogue modelling).
- Evaluation of volcanic impacts in past societies and paleoclimatic/environmental reconstructions.
- Neotectonic and paleoseismological studies for better hazard assessments.
