Matteo Simonetti

My main research interest lies in the field of continental tectonics, collisional orogens, process of ductile deformation, geological mapping and relations between ductile and brittle deformation within the crust. My activity focus on combining geological mapping and structural and microstructural analysis of deformed rocks with detailed study of the kinematic of the flow, finite strain, quartz micostructures and fabrics and high resolution U(-Th)-Pb isotope geochronology.
