Hugo Sanchez-Reyes receives the AGU Outstanding Student Presentation Award

Hugo Sanchez-Reyes, received the prestigious Outstanding Student Presentation Award (OSPA) for his presentation "An evolutive linear kinematic source inversion" at AGU 2018 Fall Meeting.

 
The goal of his PhD thesis is to develop a Full Waveform Inversion (FWI) technique combined with the adjoint-state method, often used for imaging the Earth structure, to generate high-resolution kinematic models of earthquake sources in three dimensions (3-D). He is also interested in HPC, inversion theory, and regularization techniques.

His supervisors are Prof. Jean Virieux, Prof. Ludovic Metivier and Prof. Josue Tago. I am also working with Prof. Victor M. Cruz-Atienza and Prof. Vala Hjorleifsdottir in order to apply these techniques to invert earthquakes in Mexico.

The Outstanding Student Presentation Award promote, recognize, and reward undergraduate, Master’s and PhD students for quality research and presentation skills in the geophysical sciences. It also provides students with valuable feedback about presentation style and scientific research.
