Biography
Doctor in geology, with experience in the exploration of hydrocarbons in unconventional reservoirs, and in offshore reservois. She is specialized in the analysis of active processes in convergent margins: the accretionary prism and forearc basin configuration and evolution. She has experience interpreting a wide range of datasets that include earthquakes from a local seismological network, gravity and magnetic data, 2D seismic data, well logs, cores and scientific literature. Currently, She is gaining experience at designing, acquiring, processing and interpreting gravity and magnetic data, near surface geophysical methods and MT to study hydrogeological systems. She is looking for opportunities that challenge my technical skills, and contribute to my growing business-society impact-awareness.
