Gruezi!


NOTE: As per September 2013, I will be a University Lecturer at Oxford University.

I am an Oberassistent/Lecturer at ETH Zurich, Dept. of Earth Sciences, Institute of Geophysics, Seismology and Geodynamics Group in Zurich, Switzerland. My research encompasses computational seismology from local to global scales.

Previously, I was a postdoc with Jeroen Tromp at Princeton University, New Jersey, and California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, California. I received my Ph.D. in geophysics from Princeton University in 2007 under the supervision of the late Tony Dahlen, and a geophysics Diplom/M.Sc. from Ludwigs-Maximilians-Universität in Munich, Germany.


Please navigate to our research pages for more information. Broadly defined, my research interests are:
  • Earth structure and dynamics at local (hundreds of meters) to global (thousands of kilometers) scales
  • Full-wave seismology, physics of wave propagation (diffracted and evanescent waves, caustics)
  • 3D wave propagation in complex media (meshing, fault zone and hydrocarbon structures)
  • Seismic tomography, general inverse problems, adjoint and probabilistic methods
  • Numerical algorithms (partial and ordinary differential equations), optimization, high-performance (parallel) computing

If you are interested in collaborating, potential M.Sc., Ph.D., postdoc, or other projects related to these topics, please contact me (details on the left).
