Who are we?
Feel free to contact us!
Yanadet Sripanich (post-doc based at UU from 1.8.2017-1.5.2018) Seismic modelling and interferometry.
Laura Cobden (post-doc based at UU from 1.3.2016-1.3.2018)
Mineral physics and geochemical constraints on mantle convection.
Antoine Rozel (post-doc based at ETH from 1.6.2013-1.10.2016)
Implementation/influence of grain-size evolution on mantle convection and
plate tectonics, plus various technical enhancements to facilitate running
1000s of large-scale runs (improved storage, advection method, etc.).
Andrew Valentine (post-doc based at UU from 1.7.2015-5.8.2016)
Neural network design and genral post-processing of data.
Suzanne Atkins (PhD student based at UU, associated to iGEO, post-doc based at ETH from 1.12.2016-1.12.2017, post-doc based at UU from 1.12.2017-1.4.2018):
Design of neural networks to infer initial parameters
from final states of thermo-chemical convection.
Charitra Jain (PhD student based at ETH 1.10.2013-)
Influence of continents on mantle convection and plate tectonics, with the
eventual goal of forming/growing continents self-consistently during the simulation.
Maria Koroni (PhD student based at UU from 1.3.2014-1.3.2018):
Full waveform inversion for mantle discontinuities
in the transition zone and the core mantle boundary.
Ilya Fomin (PhD student based at ETH from 1.9.2013-):
Implementation of an improved petrological description of melting for both
the lower mantle and upper mantle, which will allow for treatment of magma
oceans (basal or surface), and general large-scale melting and differentiation
that would have existed in early Earth.
Fatemeh Akbarashrafi (PhD student based at UU from 1.9.2014-1.5.2018):
Development of a waveform inversion based on mode coupling to infer global
three-dimensional models of mass density.
Diogo Lourenco (PhD student based at ETH, associated to iGEO):
Dynamics of all stages of the Earth from global magma ocean to present day
solid state convection. Impact of melting on the dynamics of the lithosphere.
Paul Tackley and Jeannot Trampert share the supervision of the project.
