Dr. Thomas Kalscheuer

Biography

Thomas Kalscheuer is a Professor of Geophysics at Uppsala University, specializing in applied geophysics and electromagnetic methods. His academic career includes positions as a Distinguished University Teacher and Docent (Associate Professor) at Uppsala University. He has previously served as a Senior Lecturer and Postdoctoral Fellow at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich. Kalscheuer obtained his PhD in Geophysics from Uppsala University in 2008, following a Diplom-Geophysiker degree from the University of Cologne, Germany. His research focuses on the development of multidimensional numerical forward modeling and inversion schemes for geophysical data, particularly regarding electromagnetic potential field methods. Kalscheuer's work includes the joint interpretation of electromagnetic, seismic, and potential field borehole data for applications in geotechnical, hardrock, tectonic, hydrological, geothermal, and volcanological contexts. He has contributed significantly to the renewal of joint inversion schemes for natural controlled-source electromagnetic and geoelectric methods, including advancements in 1D and 2D modeling, as well as 3D forward modeling algorithms.
