with two PhDs in Geophysics, from the University of Birmingham, UK, and the University of Bucharest, Romania. At Birmingham, she focused on using geophysical methods to study plant root systems and root-soil interactions in agricultural environments, alongside developing low-cost experimental equipment to make geophysical methods more affordable and accessible. At the University of Bucharest, her research expanded to the large-scale monitoring of hydropower dams, where she combined geophysical methods, topo-geodetic techniques, and remote sensing to assess structural displacements and deteriorations. Alexandra has expertise in a variety of geophysical and remote sensing methods, including geoelectrical techniques, Ground-Penetrating Radar, magnetic, seismic and electromagnetic methods, LiDAR, photogrammetry, and InSAR - with applications ranging from plant roots and archaeology to environmental, geological and civil engineering projects. She's currently a Scientific Researcher in Applied Geophysics at the National Institute for Earth Physics, Romania and for the past years she has expanded her expertise to include airborne remote sensing and geophysical methods as well as developing machine learning tools for GPR data interpretation.
