Applied Geophysicist
I am an applied geophysicist with a strong expertise in geophysical imaging and monitoring of hydrological characteristics and processes.
My expertise lies in the development and application of geophysical techniques (geoelectrical and seismic) to understand hydrological processes that impact upon groundwater dynamics, slope instabilities, and interactions with plants and the atmosphere at a range of scales.Â
My expertise includes:
Development of sensing and monitoring approaches for natural hazards
Imaging groundwater dynamics related to groundwater recharge, environmental pollution, and geothermal processes
Development of novel approaches for imaging thermohydrological properties in Arctic environments
Machine learning for automated processing and data mining of multimodal data streams
Optimization of survey design
Development of geophysical/geotechnical/hydrological property relationships.

I hold a B.Sc. in Geoinformation Sciences and Geophysics from TU Bergakademie Freiberg (Germany), and a joint M.Sc. in Applied Geophysics from TU Delft (The Netherlands), ETH Zurich (Switzerland), and RWTH Aachen (Germany). In 2018, I received a Ph.D. in Applied Geophysics from ETH Zurich. In my Ph.D. I developed geoeletrical imaging for long-term monitoring of landslides. My thesis was awarded with a Silver medal from ETH Zurich for an outstanding Ph.D. thesis.
During my time at the British Geological Survey, and at Berkeley Lab, I have planned, led, and conducted numerous field campaigns in Europe, Asia, Africa, and North America, including remote locations.
