Dr. Segou is an earthquake seismologist at the British Geological Survey in the Lyell Center, Edinburgh. She is the Editor-in-Chief of one of the most prestigious journals in solid earth research, the Geophysical Journal International of the Royal Astronomical Society and she chairs the Seismology theme in the European Research infrastructure body, EPOS. She has pioneering work in earthquake physics and triggering across the world, from Mexico to Nepal, and California to the seismically active Mediterranean region. She has studied and worked in California, France and Greece analysing almost any major earthquake catastrophe from 1989. She has delivered invited lectures in research institutes in US, UK, EU, Japan, Turkey, Switzerland. Her work on the grounds of the Central Apennines immediately after the 2016 Amatrice earthquake in Italy was acknowledged by the UK and Italian government as a paradigm of international scientific collaboration. Her recent work focuses on how machine learning will enhance the discovery of new physical laws for earthquake physics and revolutionise our collective response to disaster management during rare events.
