Marella is a Ph.D. student in seismology and geodesy at the Earth Science Department of the University of Pisa. After a university formation colored by an introduction to the various Earth sciences, she chooses to focus on geohazards. To pursue her aim, Marella specialized in geodesy and volcanology with her current research in which she uses MATLAB and Python to modelized ground deformation based on interferogram. By linking sources deformation to models deformation thanks to machine learning, this novel strategy could open new opportunities in hazard surveillance and resilience. Her primary study area is the AFAR zone. The main goal is to contribute to the improvement of geohazard surveillance and forecast systems.
