Research interests

My research focuses on geometrical geodesy and geophysics. I use precise GNSS data to model co and postseismic surface deformation caused by large megathrust earthquakes. I am interested in studying the effects of these geodynamic processes on the realization and maintenance of geodetic reference frames.  I also work on the optimization of relative gravity measurement protocols, and the adjustment of gravity networks at a regional scale in South America.
