• Research Themes: Crustal deformation, earthquake cycle, fluid-rock interactions, metamorphic reactions, shear zone evolution

Mengon's recent publications investigate strain localization under extreme conditions, fluid-driven seismicity, and microstructural records of tectonic processes. His work often integrates field studies with experimental techniques like nanoindentation and geochronology.

Key projects linked to his research include Break-Through Rocks – ERC BREAK, CO2Basalt, and COLOSSAL, which involve international collaborations. He is affiliated with research groups such as Interface Dynamics in Geophysical Flows (EarthFlows) and the Goldschmidt Laboratory.
