Dr. Elenora van Rijsingen (she/her)

I am currently a Postdoctoral Researcher in geophysics at École Normale Supérieure (ENS) in Paris, France. My research mainly focuses on seismotectonics, where I combine natural data analysis, geodesy and analogue modelling to gain a better understanding of the parameters that control seismogenic behaviour along plate boundaries. I have a strong interest in science communication, as well as contributing to more diverse and inclusive scientific communities.

Seismotectonics in the Lesser Antilles

  • Performing a Bayesian inversion to provide a better estimate of the interseismic coupling along the subduction interface.

Outreach and Organization

Science Communication

I enjoy translating relatively complex scientific results in a way that makes them accessible to a broad scientific audience, for teaching purposes, or to the general public.

Organization and Management

Organizing and managing projects comes naturally to me. I can easily oversee situations, think ahead and make the necessary adjustments to meet a certain goal.
