2018 September 28 2nd GEOTREF PhD defense

Posted on by

The second GEOTREF PhD has been defended by Keurfon Luu on septembre 2018 at 2 pm, the 28th September, in the Ecole des Mines de Paris : Numerical optimization using stochastic evolutionary algorithms: application to seismic tomography inverse problems.

Abstract

Seismic traveltime tomography is an ill-posed optimization problem due to the non-linear relationship between traveltime and velocity model. Besides, the solution is not unique as many models are able to explain the observed data. The non-linearity and non-uniqueness issues are typically addressed by using methods relying on Monte Carlo Markov Chain that thoroughly sample the model parameter space. However, these approaches cannot fully handle the computer resources provided by modern supercomputers.
