Einar Iversen

Einar Iversen is a Professor at the Department of Earth Science, University of Bergen (UiB), affiliated with the Geophysics research group. His work focuses on advanced computational methods in geophysics, including seismic modeling, wave propagation in anisotropic media, and dynamic ray tracing. He has contributed to developments in numerical simulation techniques for multiphysics processes in porous media and higher-order Hamilton-Jacobi perturbation theories.

Research interests emphasize applications of mathematical physics to geophysical problems, such as full-waveform inversion, traveltime extrapolation, and geometrical spreading analysis. His studies often involve collaborations with institutions like NTNU, Rice University, and international researchers in seismology and applied mathematics.

Key contributions include advancing ray-centred coordinate systems for dynamic ray tracing, improving finite-difference modeling accuracy in discontinuous media, and reconstructing metrics from boundary diffraction data. His work bridges theoretical developments with practical seismic data processing techniques, contributing to reservoir simulation and imaging technologies.

Funding includes grants from the Research Council of Norway (e.g., projects 294404, 267769). His research outputs span journals like Geophysical Journal International, Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering, and Geophysical Prospecting, reflecting a strong focus on computational and theoretical geophysics.
