Short Biography of Jörg Schleicher
Jörg Schleicher
received his "Vordiplom" (BSc equivalent) in
1985 and his "Diplom" (MSc equivalent) in 1990 from Karlsruhe
University,
both degrees in Physics. In 1993, he received his Dr.\ rer.\ nat. (PhD
equivalent) in Geophysics, also from Karlsruhe University.
From 1990 to 1993, he was employed as a half-time scientific
collaborator at the Geophysical Institute of Karlsruhe University, where
he became a full-time postdoc research geophysicist in 1993. He was the
project leader of the Karlsruhe part of the Joule II project
"Integrated Structural Imaging of Seismic data" financed by the
European Union and involving several European institutions. From
September 1995 to September 1996, he was a visiting scientist at the
Institute for Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Sciences of State
University of Campinas (IMECC/UNICAMP) in Brazil with joint grants from
the Brazilian National Council for Scientific and Technological
Development (CNPq) and from Alexander von Humboldt foundation in the
framework of the Feodor Lynen program. Since October 1996, he has been
employed as an Associate Professor for Applied Mathematics at
IMECC/UNICAMP. In 1998, he received SEG's J. Clarence Karcher Award. His
research interests include all forward and inverse seismic methods, in
particular Kirchhoff modeling and imaging, amplitude-preserving methods,
ray tracing, and model-independent stacking. His present activities
include research on how to control amplitudes in different kinds of
seismic imaging methods and on how to efficiently perform true-amplitude
imaging. Moreover, part of his research is directed towards the
extraction of additional useful image attributes from seismic data. He
is a member of SEG, EAGE, DGG, SBGf, and SBMAC.
