Professor Dr. Carl Schiller

Biography

Carl is a doctoral student in the Seismology and Wave Physics group at ETH Zurich. He completed his Bachelor's degree in Geosciences with a focus on Geophysics at the University of Bonn in 2021, investigating pore-fluid physicochemical controls of rock samples using geoelectrical methods. He undertook a study abroad year at Kyoto University through a direct exchange program in 2019/20. Following this, he obtained a Master's degree in Applied Geophysics as part of the IDEA League program offered by TU Delft, ETH Zurich, and RWTH Aachen in 2023. His Master's thesis involved full seismic waveform inversion in Europe and Western Asia using wavefield-adapted meshes under the supervision of Sebastian Noe and Professor Andreas Fichtner. His research focuses on creating physical models through full-waveform inversion and utilizing ambient noise interferometry methods to produce global-scale full-waveform inversion models at high frequencies. This work includes investigating source path effects in 3-D heterogeneous media through source inversions and involves significant computational tasks, emphasizing accurate data processing, numerical modeling, and joint data assimilation.
