Stefan Strub

Dr. Stefan Strub is a Researcher at ETH Zurich's Institute of Geophysics within the School of Earth and Planetary Sciences (D-EAPS). He is affiliated with the Professorship for Seismology and Geodynamics. His primary research focuses on gravitational wave astronomy, seismology, and geodynamics, with a strong emphasis on data analysis techniques for space-based missions like LISA. He develops advanced algorithms for parameter estimation in gravitational wave signals, including applications of machine learning and Bayesian methods. His work contributes to understanding massive black hole mergers, extreme mass ratio inspirals, and galactic binary systems.

Key technical contributions include optimizing parameter estimation through genetic algorithms and GPU computing, as well as applying Gaussian Process Regression to LISA data. Dr. Strub's expertise spans both theoretical modeling and experimental sensor technology, as evidenced by his 2019 work on strain sensing applications. His research bridges geophysics with astrophysics, leveraging interdisciplinary approaches to tackle challenges in observational astronomy and earth sciences.
