Micaela Castellani
Content / Work
Micaela Castellani is a PhD researcher specializing in volcanic and hydrothermal systems. Her research focuses on integrating geological observations of volcanic ash and numerical modelling to better understand the hydrothermal system of Copahue volcano (Argentina–Chile). She holds a combined Master’s degree in Geophysics from the National University of La Plata, Argentina, where her thesis applied DInSAR techniques to measure volcano-induced ground deformation at Sabancaya volcano (Peru). Her profile combines academic research with applied industry experience, including two long-term internships focused on seismic acquisition and data analysis. Academic qualifications- Oct 2025 - : PhD student, Institute de Physique du Globe de Paris, Université Paris Cité.
- 2017-2024 : Bachelor and Master's Degree in Geophysics, Universidad Nacional de La Plata.
