Principal Investigator, UCL

Ana studies deep Earth structure and earthquake source processes to obtain an integrated understanding of the processes controlling the dynamic behaviour of our planet from the surface down to the lowermost mantle.

Principal Investigator, IPMA

Miguel’s research interests are focused on Geomagnetism, Marine Geophysics and Natural Risks, in particular tsunamis. He conducted a significant number of aerial and marine geophysical surveys and is currently the president of IPMA.

Postdoctoral Research Fellow (UCL)

Stephen is a multi-displinary seismologist, involved in a wide range of problems from lithosphere and upper mantle imaging, to earthquake source processes, induced seismicity, and environmental seismology.

In the UPFLOW project, Stephen’s main work is focussed on observable design for improved imaging of mantle upwellings.

Maria joined the UPFLOW project for the recovery expedition in 2022, where she managed the technical aspects of the recovery, including the pre- and post-processing of data. Currently, she is focused on whole mantle body wave tomography beneath the Azores, aiming to unravel the complex structures beneath the islands.

Postdoctoral Researcher (UCL)

As part of the UPFLOW project, Will is developing global seismic images of anisotropy and attenuation including uncertainty quantification. He also conducts interpretations in terms of upward mantle flow guided by global geodynamical models.

Postdoctoral Researcher (Instituto Dom Luiz)

Afonso joined UPFLOW for two months and was co-leader of the ocean bottom seismometer technical team during the deployment off-shore experiment. He was one of the main responsible persons for preparing, assembling and testing all the equipment prior to the deployment.

Postdoctoral Researcher (UCL; now at ANU)

Auggie formally joined UPFLOW for three months to develop proximal MCMC inversion techniques, algorithms and codes, building on his expertise and experience acquired during his PhD studies at UCL.

PhD Student (UCL)

Katrina Harris completed her undergraduate degree in Geophysics at UCL in 2022 and her interest in seismology inspired her to apply for the UPFLOW program. Katrina is currently working on surface wave imaging of the Azores-Madeira-Canary islands region using UPFLOW data.
