She studied physics at the University of Paris XI (France) where she received his geophysics degree in 1986 and his doctorate in 1990. From 1991 to 1995, associate professor of geophysics at the University of Nice-Sophia–Antipolis (France) and founder of the CNRS team “RUADE: from RUpture to DEformation. She has developed the laboratory of analog modeling of tectonic deformation, faulting and earthquake rupture, and supervised numerous students and training courses, in Physics department at the University of Nice-Sophia–Antipolis. From 1995 until 2005 she shave time between Nice and the University of California, Los Angeles, Depart. of Earth and Space Sciences. She concentrated on the study on phenomena of Rupture and scaling laws in the Earth crust , looking for model of percolation of rupture, of fault growth process and of self-organized criticality.Since 2006 until 2013, associate professor of geophysics at ETH Zürich she is developing seismic network for school and she is developing a pedagogical approaches for teachers at school through the program “Seismo@School” in Switzerland. Since 2013 until 2017, she share 50 % of time at EHT Zürich and 50% loke Prof., at the Institute of Industrial System, Hes-so Valais in Sion.
