My current research focuses on fault growth, seismic interpretation and natural hazards. This work involves the automated extraction and large-scale analyis of normal fault systems in 3-D seismic reflection data and geodynamic models using deep learning. Combining high-resolution present-day observations with state-of-the-art numerical models will allow us to explore the growth of normal fault systems in space and time.
