Michael is a senior researcher in the Applied Geoscience group at SINTEF-department of Petroleum. He has more than 20 years of experience with development and application of methods for geophysical imaging and monitoring, multi-method data integration (e.g., joint inversion). During the last 10+ years he has focused on CO2 montoring.
Education
Michael has a "Diplom" (master equivalent) from the University of Karlsruhe and a Dr. rer. nat. (Phd equivalent) from the University of Göttingen, Germany. He worked two years as Postdoc at the University of Utah, USA.
