Research

SPINE Project:
The in-situ stress state is a key parameter for designing a deep geothermal reservoir, as it has a strong influence on borehole stability, reservoir permeability and reservoir response to hydraulic injections. I will be working within the international SPINE consortium in order to improve our understanding of stress variation within the earth crust with important implication for both fundamental and applied rock mechanics problems. The objective of my research is to develop better stress characterization methodologies for deep geothermal projects.
