My research interests include:

• Field-based structural studies aimed at understanding the tectonic evolution of mountain belts

• Finite strain and strain history analysis aimed at defining deformational patterns and kinematics of structures at all scales

• Microstructural and textural studies to determine grain-scale deformation mechanisms in rocks and their implications for large-scale mechanics of deformation

• Geometrical, theoretical and mathematical modeling studies to place constraints on kinematics and mechanics of deformation
