Research interests and expertise

Wave mechanics: Mathematical and numerical modelling of tsunamis (large water waves), including generation by submarine slides and rockslides, tsunami propagation in fjords and open seas, and coastal impact as well as animations and risk assessment.

Gravity mass flows: Mathematical and numerical modelling of gravity mass flow dynamics, including submarine slides and debris flows, mudflows, rockslides, and snow avalanches as well as hazard mapping, risk assessment and design of protective measures.
