- Summary
Dr. Vanorio is an Assistant Professor in the Geophysics department at Stanford University where she leads the Stanford Rock Physics Laboratory. Since 2010 she is visiting professor at University of Provence-Marseille, France. Tiziana received her BA with honors in geology and a PhD in Geophysics and Volcanology from University of Naples, Federico II, Italy. After graduation, she was a CNR-NATO and a Marie Curie (EU) postdoctoral fellow respectively at Stanford University and Geosciences Azur - University of Nice, France where she focused her research on bridging rock physics analyses and seismic tomography from micro-earthquakes travel times in geothermal areas.
The combination of these two distinct parts of her research helped focus the scientific interests of her group on experimentally deciphering the seismic response of rock-fluid interactions and, specifically, the feedbacks between thermo-, chemo-, and mechanical processes. Current applications of the research done in her group include understanding the change of microstructure and the evolution of the elastic and transport properties of shales upon thermal maturation and carbonate rocks upon dissolution and de-carbonation.
