My scientific activity is mainly focused on the petrophysical properties of rocks and their implications on fault mechanics, earthquake enucleation and localization, and reservoir characterization. My research approach integrates laboratory-scale data with larger-scale data acquired in the field or through geophysical surveys. Laboratory data derive mainly from uniaxial and triaxial deformation tests or static tests with acoustic measurements simulating crustal pressure and temperature conditions, while the field data range from classical structural geological surveys to the processing and interpretation of seismic or well data (electrical logs). This integration provides a broad view of the phenomena governing earthquake enucleation and subsurface fluid circulation, with implications ranging from earthquake geology to CO2 storage and subsurface resources estimation
