wavefield seismic imaging

I am regularly offering the Wavefield Seismic Imaging course at Colorado School of Mines and a condensed version of the course (1 or 2 days) outside CSM. More information about WSI is available on the course webpage.

seismic imaging team

I am leading the seismic imaging team of CWP. Our primary interest is to develop wavefield-based methods for imaging and model building. We have a strong emphasis on High Performance Computing. The iTeam meets weekly.

computing environment

My teaching and research use Madagascar, an open-source software package for geophysical data processing and reproducible numerical experiments. Madagascar is freely available from http://www.reproducibility.org

admission information

The Center for Wave Phenomena seeks candidates with a strong background in earth sciences, applied mathematics, scientific computing, or physics to pursue PhD degrees in geophysics. Full financial support is available. More information on the CSM graduate admissions website.
