Phd in EARTH SCIENCES

EDUCATION • PhD in Earth Sciences at University of Rome, Sapienza, (2017-present). • Master’s Degree in Exploration Geology at University of Rome, Sapienza, (2015) discussing the following thesis in: “Influence of bitumen on the petrophysical properties of the formation of Bolognano: a multidisciplinary approach applied to an area of the northern mountainside of the Majella”. • Bachelor’s Degree in Geological Sciences at University of Rome, Sapienza, (2013) discussing the following thesis in Structural Geology: “Geomechanical characterization of rocks for the localization of the earthquakes”. RESEARCH EXPERIENCE I’m interested in study Reservoir modeling, Earthquakes, fault mechanics, and physical properties of rocks. In particular my PhD focuses on fluid-rock interactions to understand the main factors that control the petrophysical and mechanical properties of rocks at crustal scale. Some topics of my research are: - Petrophysical properties of the carbonate rocks - Reservoir rock characterization and modeling by using Petrel software - Friction experiments on binary mixtures of calcite and illite in order to evaluate the influence of phyllosilicate content on frictional strength, fault stability and frictional healing under water-saturated conditions and dry conditions at room temperature PUBLICATIONS ISI papers: - Trippetta, F., Ruggieri, R., Brandano, M., & Giorgetti, C.
