Houda Delleci

I am Houda Delleci, a PhD student at CEREGE as part of the TREAD project (Horizon Europe - MSCA). My thesis, supervised by Lucilla Benedetti and Magali Riesner, focuses on analysing the relationships between the distribution of co-seismic slip, fault segmentation and damage zones. The aim is to gain a better understanding of how certain geometric or mechanical structures can slow down or promote the propagation of seismic ruptures.
This project is based on field analyses (high-resolution topography, structural mapping), numerical modelling and the dating of seismic evidence. In collaboration with UNIPD and EDF, this work will help to improve the modelling of rupture scenarios in complex tectonic contexts.
Passionate about seismotectonics, I am motivated by applied research into prevention issues.
