F. Out

Dr. F. Out is a Researcher at Utrecht University's Faculty of Geosciences, Department of Earth Sciences, specializing in Micromagnetic Tomography (MMT) and paleomagnetism. Their work focuses on developing mathematical and computational methods to extract reliable magnetic signals from rock samples at the grain level.

Research interests center on micromagnetic tomography, paleomagnetic signal analysis, and computational modeling of rock magnetism. Their work bridges geophysics, mathematics, and computer science to improve accuracy in reconstructing Earth's historical magnetic field. Key methodologies include combining micro X-ray computed tomography with magnetic surface scans to analyze individual magnetic grains.

Publications since 2022 demonstrate consistent advancement in MMT methodology, with focus on mathematical uncertainties, grain-size distributions, and computational libraries. Research spans theoretical mathematical exploration, practical implementation of MMT techniques, and applications to basalt samples including Hawaiian lava flows.
