Scientific Researcher · Leibniz Institute for Applied Geophysics (LIAG), Hannover, Germany

Welcome!

I am a Scientific Researcher at the Leibniz Institute for Applied Geophysics (LIAG) in Hannover, Germany. My research lies at the intersection of geophysics, potential field methods, and geothermal exploration, combining satellite, airborne, and terrestrial data with probabilistic inversion techniques.

I received my Ph.D. in Geophysics from Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel in 2019, supervised by Prof. Jörg Ebbing and Prof. Hans-Jürgen Götze.

Research Interests

  • 🔬 Probabilistic Inversion — Multi-observable probabilistic inversion for geothermal heat flow modeling
  • 🌍 Subsurface Imaging — Imaging the Earth using satellite, airborne, and terrestrial gravity & magnetic data
  • 🌋 Geothermal Exploration — Regional and local scale geothermal exploration with uncertainty quantification
  • 📡 Data Acquisition — Gravity and magnetic surveys using terrestrial, drone, and airborne platforms
  • 💻 Algorithm Development — Innovative algorithms for gravity and magnetic data inversion and analysis
