My research Interests include:

Inverse problems and data inference: I have spent quite some timestudying how to image of the internal structure of Earth.  I work on a range of projects which involve the development andapplication of mathematical and computational techniques for geophysical inference. I'm particularly  focused on developing new approaches forrobust inference from Earth Science data; Computational geophysics and numerical algorithms. An area of specialization has been assessment of uncertainty using randomized search algorithms including Markov chain Monte Carlo.

​

The study of the Earth interior through use of seismic information and other geophysical observations. I am also interested in the theory and computation of seismic wave propagation in hetergeneous media. Mathematical geophysics is the broad subject area that covers these activities.

​

My students are drawn from a range of backgrounds including Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, and the Earth Sciences. I am regularly offer student research projects at ASC, Honoursand Ph.D. levels. Typically these will invovle application of a new algorithm to a particular geophysical problem, or testing out of some mathematical or computational ideas in geophysical inference.
