Lucia Andreuttiova

Lucia Andreuttiova is a 3rd year PhD student at UCL Earth Sciences studying earthquakes. To understand surface ruptures, I use a variety of techniques such as geodesy, geochronology, and fracture mapping. I am hoping that my research will improve our understanding of the earthquake hazard and contribute to the catalogue of the characterised earthquakes. When I'm not doing science, I enjoy long cycle rides and hikes.
