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.
