Introduction
I am interested in understanding the underlying mechanisms that control the entire spectrum of fault behavior. Especially, the hydromechanical processes that characterize fault and rock deformation.
My research focuses on multi-monitoring the faults and intact rocks deformation in laboratory experiments. I used biaxial and triaxial rock deformation apparatus at different saturation and pore-pressure conditions, combined with microstructure and petrophysical characterization.

The Opalinus Clay (OPA) is a clay-rich formation considered as a potential host rock for radioactive waste repositories and as a caprock for carbon storage in Switzerland. Its very low permeability (10−19 to 10−21 m2) makes it a potential sealing horizon, however the presence of faults that may be activated during the lifetime of a repository proje...
