Sergei Lebedev

Sergei Lebedev is a Professor of Geophysics at the University of Cambridge's Department of Earth Sciences and holds an adjunct professorship at Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies. His primary affiliation is with the Bullard Laboratories. He specializes in seismology, seismic tomography, and the structural evolution of the Earth's crust and upper mantle, with a focus on regions like the North Atlantic, Africa, and Tibet. Lebedev leads major projects such as SEA-SEIS and Ireland Array, combining research with public engagement. His work integrates seismic data with geodynamic models to understand tectonic processes, volcanic systems, and resource exploration.

• PhD: Princeton University (2000)
• MSc: Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (1991)

Research interests include seismic imaging methods, lithospheric dynamics, and the interplay between seismicity and tectonic evolution. He has contributed to studies on cratonic lithosphere structure, mantle plumes, and crustal deformation mechanisms.
