Summary

Over six years of software designing and developing for seismic data processing, inverse problems and high-performance computations. Successful completion of a number of projects both as a team leader and developer.

Professional Development

Department of Earth Sciences, Freie Universität Berlin (Berlin, Germany)

Research assistant, Sep 2007 to Present

Development of a passive seismic imaging approach which consists of two steps. Firstly, the hypocenter of the microseismic event is precisely located. Secondly, this event is treated as pseudo-active seismic source and we process the reflections within the recorded wavefield using a directional migration algorithm in order to construct a high resolution image in the close vicinity of the located hypocenter. The method was applied to SAFOD and KTB data.
