Research interests

• Integrated geophysical-petrological thermochemical imaging of
  lithosphere and underlying upper mantle using inversion and forward
  approaches and different data sets at global and regional scales.
• 3D Lithospheric modelling integrating different geophysical data:
  potential fields, surface heat flow, elevation, seismic velocities,
  electrical conductivity, and mantle composition.
• Lithosphere-Asthenosphere boundary geometry in the
  Atlantic-Mediterranean transition (western limit of the Eurasian-African
  plate boundary).
• Electrical conductivity of the upper mantle minerals
