Research

Postdoctoral researcher at CITEUC and CERENA.

I am currently developing new tools to assist in the analysis of several types of geomorphological structures using remote sensing data of planetary surfaces.

These tools enable for instance the study of past tectonic and erosive processes on Mars, as well as the analysis of present day aeolian activity at the surface of the planet.
