Dissertation topics suggested by the teacher.
Development of analytical and numerical solutions for the deformations, stresses, seismicity and gravity changes at volcanoes.
Development of numerical models of magma propagation and hydraulic fracturing, calculation of expected observables (deformations, seismicity, gravity changes).
