About

I am a highly motivated scientist with hands-on expertise in all aspects of Geological field mapping, Thermochronology, Thermal modelling, Structural Geology and sedimentology. I Elaborated, participated and supervised numerous projects in different orogen-basin settings on 4 continents with 7 Ph.D supervision. I am especially skilled in low Temperature-Thermochronology and reconstruction of paleo-thermal history of oil and gas rich basins. I Successfully created activities and formed synergistic alliances for optimal project development in Earth Sciences. I relate well with people of different backgrounds at all levels of organizations. I am highly stimulated by the possibility of being involved in interactive projects and new initiatives towards the development of approaches for industry and academia cares. Funding agencies were national funding agencies and oil companies. Worked abroad: Switzerland, Netherland, Peru, Ecuador, Morocco, Iran, Georgia, Russia and France.
