My research line is focused in the application of active and passive seismic techniques to study lithospheric structure and dynamics, both at crustal and mantle levels. Some of the specific scientific topics I've been working are:
I'm also involved in outreach activies mainly addressed to high school students; Earthquake Workshops, Seminars and conferences, Participation in Science Fairs and events.
