Personal profile
Biography
I am a geophysicist specializing in palaeomagnetism and rock magnetism, with a strong focus on developing advanced statistical methods to help the scientific community extract reliable insights from complex datasets. My research has spanned from paleoclimate reconstruction—examining climate signals preserved in marine sediments—to exploring innovative applications of rock magnetic techniques. Recently, my work has shifted toward applying these techniques to reduce fossil fuel use in steel production, contributing to the development of greener, more energy-efficient processes.
