Research
My research interests include applications of the seismic-interferometry method on different scales – from millimetres to hundreds of kilometres – for imaging and monitoring of the subsurface of the Earth and characterization of objects. I do this with physical arrivals retrieved by seismic interferometry, but also by non-physical arrivals, which result from non-compliance with the assumptions needed for application of seismic interferometry.

Currently, I am working on projects involving application of seismic interferometry for
- Characterization and monitoring of the fluid-mud layer in ports and waterways (with the Port of Rotterdam, Port of Hamburg, and SmartPort; also as part of SailFM project from NWO; see also MUDNET
- CO2 sequestration and geothermal-energy production (SUCCEED: Synergetic Utilisation of CO2 storage Coupled with geothermal Energy Deployment)
- Imaging of structures and monitoring of processes in the Groningen subsurface connected to the natural-gas extraction (DEEPNL programme from NWO)
- Mining exploration (e.g., Smart Exploration; data from COGITo-MIN)
- Imaging and monirotoing of volcanoes
- Archaeological exploration
- Imaging and characterization of the Moon interior
- AESB1320-17: Mechanics, BSc 1st year, 5 EC (giving the part on oscillations and waves)
- AESM1330: Forward and Inverse Geomodelling, MSc 1st year, 5 EC (giving the part on forward modelling of acoustic waves)
- AESM1511: Field Geophysics and Signal Analysis with Matlab/Python, MSc 1st year, 5 EC (responsible for the course and giving the part on Matlab)
