Florian Belina

My current research focuses on the evaluation of the robustness and limitations of full-waveform inversion algorithms for crosshole georadar data in order to apply such schemes to a wide range of real world problems. Thereby, a major issue of my research is the accurate estimation of the source wavelet.
