Zeno Heilmann received a master’s degree in Geophysics from
the University of Karlsruhe, Germany, in 2002. From 2002, he did a PhD under
the supervision of Prof. Dr. Peter Hubral. During this time, he was employed as
a research associate of the WIT Consortium. He took part in the development of
a CRS-stack-based time-to-depth imaging workflow and was responsible for its application
in a publicly funded geothermal energy project. Besides this, he worked on an
extension of the CRS stack software for rugged topography and variable near-surface
velocity. In 2007, he received the Doctorate degree from the Physical Faculty of
the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), awarded magna cum laude. After a
short period as post-doc, he started in September 2007 a position as researcher
in the Imaging & Numerical Geophysics Group of CRS4. From 2007 to 2014, he took
part in an industrial project, working on innovative seismic imaging methods,
coherent noise removal and full waveform inversion. From 2008 to 2011, he was also
engaged in a publicly funded project developing a multidisciplinary grid-infrastructure
for geoscience. In 2014, he joined the newly founded Environmental Near-Surface
Geoscience Group. From 2015 to 2017, he was working in the publicly financed SmartGeo
project, developing a cloud portal for seismic data-processing. From 2017 to
2021, he applied geoelectrical methods in two publicly funded
projects targeting environmental geophysics and precision agriculture. From 2021
to 2023, he took part in an industrial project aiming at designing a production
facility for green hydrogen and in an internal project aiming at developing an
IoT platform for intelligent solar charging of electric cars. Since 2023, he collaborates in a project using satellite, drone and ground resistivity data for
archaeological research.
