Alexis is a PhD student at ISTeP, the geosciences laboratory of Sorbonne University in Paris. He uses numerical models to study tectonic deformations within the accretionary prism, particularly those related to the roughness of the subducting plate and thermal state. His aim is to describe tectonic structures and provide mechanical explanations for seismological observations, to better understand the seismic cycle in subduction zones.
