I am fascinated by the fact that we can learn about the interior of the Earth using surface recordings of seismic waves; and thus use destructive earthquakes in a positive way. In particularly, I use observations of the frequencies at which the Earth resonates (much like a bell) after large magnitude earthquakes. Using these data, I study the detailed structures deep inside the Earth with the aim to link these structures to the dynamic processes happening within the Earth and the evolution of our planet.
