Biographical Summary

Joseph Doetsch joined the LBNL team in October 2011 to work on inverse techniques to combine geophysical and hydrological data for monitoring CO2 injection in deep wells. Joseph received his PhD from ETH Zurich, Switzerland for work on joint and constrained inversion for improved aquifer characterization. He trained in physics and geophysics at ETH Zurich, Switzerland (Diploma/MS), Uppsala University, Sweden (MS) and Heidelberg University, Germany (2 years of undergraduate studies).
