My research expertise is multidisciplinary and encompasses the fields of Geodynamics, Structural Geology, Tectonic Geomorphology, Paleoseismology, Geochronology, and Analog and Numerical Modeling. This combination allows me to observe, record, and model field data to predict patterns of tectonic behavior throughout the southern Central Andes during the Mesozoic and Cenozoic. During my Ph.D., I developed an original numerical platform to simulate the interactions between growth folds and fluvial-alluvial processes, which later led to the focus of my research interests on the identification and characterization of potential seismogenic structures to unravel the neotectonic dynamics and seismic hazard of the Argentinean Andean backarc. On the other hand, I have led and participated in consulting projects in structural characterization of exploratory areas for oil companies and collaborated in the development of the Andino 3D structural modeling software.
