Dr. Andrea Antonioli, Research Associate in Geophysics

Andrea joined the Group in February 2005 after winning a Marie Curie Fellowship. The goal of his project is to develop a better understanding of the complex East Anatolian fault network by means of numerical modeling techniques. The heterogeneity of the stress and the strain in the region due to the fault network will be compared with geodetical data available in the area. Additionally, finite element simulations will be used to reproduce possible slip scenarios in the Sunda trench in order assess the tsunami hazard along the Sumatra southern coast.
