Prof. Niklas Linde

Niklas Linde received his MSc (2002) in environmental engineering and his PhD (2005) in geophysics from Uppsala University in Sweden. During his PhD studies, he spent one year as a guest at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. He then spent one year at CNRS-CEREGE in France before he joined the Institute of Geophysics at ETH as a postdoctoral researcher in late 2006. After close to two years at ETH, he moved to Lausanne to become Assistant Professor in Applied Geophysics.

His research focuses mainly on joint inversion of geophysical and hydrological data for environmentally and hydrologically relevant applications. His main areas of geophysical expertise are electrical and electromagnetic geophysics, electrical properties, geophysical inverse theory, and hydrogeophysics. His teaching activities are presently focused on potential field methods.
