RESEARCH AND WORK EXPERIENCE
|
Jun 2002 -
Jan 2007
|
Assistant professor in applied geophysics at Uppsala University. Research interests involve interpretation and analysis of geophysical airborne measurements with application to mineralizations in Swedish ore provinces.
|
Aug 2000 -
May 2002
|
Swedish Geological Survey: Radiometric data processing and interpretation. Development of GIS processing and visualization tools for airborne geophysical data.
|
Aug 1998 -
Jul 2000
|
Post Doctoral fellow at the CSIC institute "Jaume Almera" in Barcelona, Spain. Research topics involved reflection seismic processing and interpretation of the URSEIS95 data, and supervising students in high-resolution seismic tomography.
Mentor: Prof. Andrés Perez-Estaún
|
Sep 1995 -
Jun 1996
|
10 months at the U. S. Geological Survey in Denver working with a finite difference application of local earthquake travel time tomography. The three-dimensional velocity structure below the Long Valley Caldera, California, was modeled, and the algorithm developed to simultaneously invert for both the P- and S-waves velocities.
Mentor: Prof. Harley M. Benz
|
Apr 1992 -
Jun 1998
|
Graduate student in Geophysics at the Department of Earth Sciences, Section Solid Earth Physics, Uppsala University, Sweden. Areas of special interest were crustal seismology and earthquake tomography. Research Assistant in applied refraction and reflection seismology.
Supervisor: Prof. Laust B. Pedersen
|
|
Fall 1991
|
Analysis of explosion recordings at the SIL (South Iceland Lowland) seismic network. Phase identification of large-offset recordings at permanent 3-component recording stations. Forward and inverse modeling of the deep crustal structure.
Supervisor: Prof. Ragnar S. Slunga
|
