I am fascinated by the interactions between geodynamic, tectonics, climate and surface processes and more specifically in their contribution to the topographic evolution of mountain belts at different time-scales from tens of million years to thousand years. I want to understand processes that control the landscape changes in active tectonic settings and to quantify their respective roles with quantitative geomorphology methods. I am also interested in exhumation processes, including erosion and tectonic denudation.

I am applying a multidisciplinary approach to solve research issues: fieldwork, GIS analysis, low-temperature thermochronology (AFT, AHe, OSL), cosmogenic nuclide dating (10Be) and landscape evolution numerical modeling.
