Specialization
Modeling and inversion of Potential Fields data
Research Area
Currently, my main research interests are:
-
Joint inversion of gravity and magnetic data using Bayesian approches for better estimating the model uncertainties.
-
Understanding the complex pattern of deformation (deflation – inflation) over a volcano using joint modelling of deformation and gravity data.
-
Improving the stability of downward continuation of potential fields.
