SYLVAIN  MICHEL

I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at Géoazur in Sophia Antipolis, France. I graduated in 2018 with a PhD from the University of Cambridge, UK. In the frame of my degree, a significant part of my PhD was undertaken in Caltech, USA. My background includes also a 1,5 year experience in the private sector as an exploration geologist in Australia.

​

My research aims at improving our understanding of the mechanics and dynamics of active faults during all phases of the earthquake cycle. I also focus on the development of physics-based methods for the evaluation of seismic hazard and associated uncertainties taking advantage of geodetic data and advanced statistical analysis.
