Research Interests
I am interested in several aspects of the seismotectonics and geodynamics of the Andean convergent margin. Current projects being developed under my responsability include the generation of new seismicity catalogues based on deep-learning methods, integration of geophysical and geological information into data-integrative modeling for the structure of the subduction zone, computation of 2D and 3D thermal field of the Chilean subduction zone and its influence on the rheology and deformation, analysis of the post-seismic relaxation after XXI century great earthquakes with emphasis on the role of lower crustal ductil behavior. Most of the these projects are being developed in collaboration with chilean and foreign colleagues and include participation of a number of undergrad, master and PhD students.
Proposed Hosting Period
Let´s discuss about the best timing during 2026; it is very likely that I will spend several months outside Chile, something that I will known only in October-November this year, but we can figure out how this could work!

Facilities/Resources
Our deparment has an office for visiting researchers that is fully equipped and ready to be used. We are currently acquiring a high-performance computer to run 2D-3D numerical models for the thermal state of the subduction zone that will be available for the visiting student.
