معرفی
Florian M. Wagner is a full Professor of Geophysical Imaging and Monitoring at RWTH Aachen University since February 2023. His work bridges geophysical imaging, numerical modeling, and data integration for subsurface characterization. Key affiliations include Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (visiting scholar 2018), University of Bonn (postdoc 2016–2019), and GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences (research associate 2011–2016).
Dr. Wagner holds a Doctor of Sciences (Dr. sc.) from ETH Zurich (2012–2016) and a joint M.Sc. in Applied Geophysics from TU Delft, ETH Zurich, and RWTH Aachen (2009–2011). His research focuses on multi-method geophysical imaging, optimized experimental design, and monitoring subsurface fluid dynamics in contexts like permafrost degradation, geothermal systems, and radioactive waste repositories. He develops open-source software such as pyGIMLi for geophysical inversions.
- Recent publications highlight hybrid joint inversion frameworks combining transient electromagnetics, ERT, and seismic data, along with entropy-constrained inversion techniques for sharper subsurface imaging.
- Scientific awards include multiple best teaching awards at RWTH Aachen and research grants for innovative geophysical projects.
- Students mentored include Nino Menzel and Anton Ziegon, whose M.Sc. theses directly contributed to peer-reviewed publications.
- Public outreach projects like the Open AR-Sandbox and seismic wave exhibits engage both academic and general audiences.
His work emphasizes uncertainty quantification in geophysical models and cross-disciplinary collaboration to address challenges in resource management and climate change impacts.
