Degrees

!

2006-2010PhD. Geophysics, Delft University of Technology, dept. of Geoscience. PhD.

Thesis:

!`Correlation-based inversion of seismic data', under the supervision of Prof. Dr. W.A.

Mulder.

! Resulted in 3 journal papers and 8 conference proceedings, one of which was

! !rewarded with a ` best paper award. I attended a summer school on seismic imaging

! !and presented my work at several mathematical and geophysical conferences. I visited

! Rice University and Purdue University for extended periods of time.

! !I was also actively involved in supervising undergraduate students and helped

! organizing a student-visit to oil companies in Abu-Dabi and Oman. I spend 6 months at

! Shell Research in the Netherlands under a `valorization-grant to disseminate my

! !research.

! 2004-2006 MSc. Computational Science, Utrecht University. Master Thesis:

!`Expanding Mondriaan's Palette' on parallel computing, under the supervision of !

!Dr. R.H. Bisseling.

! Published as part of chapter in book on scientific computing

! 2001-2004 BSc. Applied Mathematics, Utrecht University. BSc. Thesis:

!`Numerical simulation of alternating bars in straight channels',

!under the supervision of Dr. P.A. Zegeling.

! Published in proceedings of an international conference.

Appointments

! 2010-present Postdoctoral fellow at the dept. of Earth and Ocean sciences, UBC.

! I am actively involved in an industry-consortium and the supervision of graduate

! !students. I co-organize an interdisciplinary seminar for faculty and students from

! !mathematics, computer science and earth sciences. In the summer of 2011 I helped

! !organize a computer lab on seismic imaging for a summer school. I serve as

! reviewer for several international journals and as chairman for a yearly recurring

! !international geoscience conference.
