Position: Researcher

Zeno Heilmann received his Masters degree in Geophysics from the University of Karlsruhe, Germany, in October 2002. From 2002 to 2007 he did a Ph.D. under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Peter Hubral. During this time he was employed by the University of Karlsruhe as a research associate of the Wave Inversion Technology (WIT) Consortium. In spring 2007 he received his Doctorate degree (Dr. rer. nat.) from the Physical Faculty of the University of Karlsruhe. Besides the development of a CRS-stack-based time-to-depth imaging workflow and its practical application in a geothermal energy exploration project and two extensive case studies from Brazil and Saudi Arabia, he worked on the extension of the CRS stack software focusing on the influence of rugged topography and near surface velocity variations. After a short period as a Post-doc researcher at the University of Karlsruhe he started in September 2007 to work as an expert researcher at the Center for Advanced Studies, Research, and Development in Sardinia (CRS4), Italy. At CRS4 he worked on implementing a web portal utilizing remote grid computing resources for in-field visualization and quality control of seismic and ground penetrating radar data to during data acquisition. Currently, he focuses on developing and testing new seismic imaging and noise removal techniques in a long term industrial research project. Zeno Heilmann is active member of the Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG), member of the European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers (EAGE), and member the Brazilian Geophysical Society (SBGf).
