I am postdoc in the Dept. of Geosciences at Princeton University, New Jersey,
working on computational seismology from local to global scales.
I started my postdoctoral work with
Jeroen Tromp
in the Seismological Laboratory at California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, California.
Prior to that, 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.

::: 10/27/09 :::
The Ph.D. position at ETH supported by the
European Initial Training network QUEST has been filled. If you are interested in (post-)graduate or
postdoctoral projects in any aspect of computational seismology,
please contact me (details on the left). NOTE that no actual positions are offered or funded at this point, but this may change in the near future.

I will be moving to Switzerland in Feb. 2010 to join ETH Zurich as an Oberassistent (lecturer).
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).
