I am passionate about volcanoes and work to understand active and past eruptions using a series of remote sensing methods to document eruptive activity and its products. Originally from Belgium, I have lived and worked in France, the United Kingdom and the United States. I am currently an Assistant Research Professor in the Department of Astronomy and Planetary Science at Northern Arizona University. My research involves the use and development off spectroscopic and imaging techniques to monitor and quantify emission of gases, aerosols and ash from volcanoes, and to monitor air quality in areas affected by natural phenomena such as volcanic eruption and forest fires.
Oxford Vulcans
The Volcanology group at the University of Oxford comprises a small number of Faculty members, postdocs and students, whose research interests cover a wide variety of topics relevant to volcanology. Always growing, our research interests include: remote sensing, gas chemistry, monitoring techniques, petrology and geochemistry of magmas, stratigraphy of eruptive products, and more. I was a member of the group between 2019 and 2024, and maintain active collaborations.
PIXEL group
I am a member of the PIXEL group at Northern Arizona University, which uses remote sensing, spectroscopy and thermophysics to study the composition and physical properties of planetary surfaces and atmospheres, and develop instrumentation to address outstanding questions in earth and planetary science.
