I am currently a post-doctoral researcher at the British Geological Survey (BGS) in Edinburgh, Scotland.
As a Higher Scientific Officer I work part-time on the project "Seismic
Imaging of Sub-Basalt Reflections in the North-East Atlantic Margin" and
I am based in the Edinburgh
Anisotropy Project (EAP). You will find more information about my work
on sub-basalt imaging in the down-loadable references
below.
Next to this I teach geophysics for 4th year students at the
Earth Science
Department of the University of Glasgow,
I am in charge of the EAP web-space and I am currently
redesigning the Earthquake
web-site of the BGS.
Before working for the BGS I was a PhD-student of the
Geology & Geophysics
Department at the University
of Edinburgh. My supervisors were Anton Ziolkowski (UoE) and Xiang-Yang Li
(EAP). My thesis "The Influence of Basalt Layers on Seismic Wave
Propagation" (see reference below) contains my work on
locally-converted waves and the use of low-frequencies for sub-basalt imaging.
Prior to my Scottish times I lived in Berlin, Germany, where I studied physics
until my Vordiplom (BSc) and geophysics for a diploma (MSc) at the institute
of Applied
Geophysics at the Technical
University of Berlin.
My diploma (MSc) thesis from 1996 is on the application of neural networks in
applied seismics (see below).
During my studies I also worked on 2D anisotropic seismic models, on
statistical methods for the KTB borehole-data, on VLF for archaeological
settings, hydrological problems and used all main geophysical methods.
After finishing my Diploma I worked as a research geophysicist at the
GeoForschungsZentrum
Potsdam (GFZ) for the German
continental reflection seismic program (DEKORP) on a project called
Basin 1996.
Since my geophysics studies in Berlin I enjoy teaching other students and
right now I lecture geophysics at the University of Glasgow (see above).
In the Past I taught or demonstrated magnetics, geoelectrics, HTML,
CGI-programming and Unix at the University of Edinburgh and VLF-methods at
the Technical University of Berlin.
Since my student times in Berlin I am almost constantly involved in designing
and maintaining web-based services.
My interest in web-applications started in 1993 when I installed and
maintained a web-server for Applied Geophysics institute.
In 1995 I designed the web-pages for the geothermics project
at the GFZ and in 1997 I worked for about a year as a free-lance
CGI-programmer (e.g. at Berlin Online) before I relocated to
Edinburgh, where I still do similar work (see above).
If you need more information or would like to request my CV please feel free to

During this work I used the Stuttgart Neural Network Simulator
(SNNS) and did inversions of artificial traveltime curves by a
Feedforward-Network with Backpropagation-Learning. Additionally
I trained a Time-Delay-Network for picking arrival-times.
