Philippe LE BOUTEILLER

**Summary :

I obtained a PhD degree in December 2018 at Institut des Sciences de la Terre, Université Grenoble Alpes, within the SEISCOPE consortium, under supervision of Pr. Jean Virieux and Dr. Ludovic Métivier.

As a numerical geophysicist, I develop 2D and 3D algorithms for solving PDEs using finite volume, finite difference, and discontinuous finite element methods, aiming at developing asymptotic approaches for seismic modeling, imaging, and inversion at various scales in the Earth interior.

**Research interests :

  • Wave propagation in anisotropic heterogeneous media in the high-frequency regime for geophysical applications
  • High-order numerical algorithms for hyperbolic PDEs
  • Asymptotic and full-waveform inversion schemes
  • Seismic imaging
  • Wave propagation at various scales

During my PhD, I experienced the richness of gathering knowledge from various communities (applied mathematics and geophysics).
