Self-Introduction
My research is devoted to inversion of geophysical data for the internal
composition, thermal state, structure and evolution of the terrestrial
planets. To this end I use a broad range of geophysical data, including
seismic, gravity, and electromagnetic sounding data. The scheme that I
employ relies on combining geophysical modeling and data analysis with
mantle mineral phase equilibrium computations. The approach is strongly
interdisciplinary seeking to naturally integrate geophysics, geodynamics,
and petrology in order to understand how the planets developed their chemical
and physical structure. My research can be broadly categorized into:
1. Structure, composition, origin, and evolution of Earth and terrestrial
planets.
2. Electromagnetic sounding and electrical conductivity.
3. Seismology.
4. Exoplanet interiors.
5. Inverse problems.
