Scientific Director at the “Neural-Geophysics Lab”, Augsburg
The research and training program 2023 has been planned in cooperation with the institute of 
Geophysics of the Trieste University with participation of PhD Students.

The program focused on new developments in Machine Learning and Deep Learning algorithms.
for the modelling of physical processes in the 3D Seismic and Petrophysics.
Spatial Statistics theories were introduced for the Upscaling of Petrophysical properties,
Stochastic Inversion and for the transition of Geostatistics to Machine Learning.
Thermodynamic models of new Geothermal systems were also discussed.
