Research Interest
In my research, I primarily use the satellite radar interferometry (InSAR) technique to study ground deformations associated with volcanic, earthquakes, and landslide processes. I use both the simple differential and the multi-temporal InSAR techniques, depending on the studied process and area. Combining InSAR results with other remote sensing data, ground-based measurements, geological information, and using analytical models to estimate the deformation source(s) parameters, I try to understand the tectonic mechanisms that drive the deformation.
