Zhuo Liu
PhD student
zhuoliu@mines.edu

More about Zhuo

Zhuo Liu is interested in geological differentiation using constrained inversion over multi-physical data. His previous works are about perspectivity mapping of data and segmentation of geologic bodies via clustering over physical property through inversion. He is currently developing algorithms to recover basement relief and lateral change of physical property and also shares interests in machine learning in geophysical data interpretation in the mining industry.

Andréa Darrh
PhD student
adarrh@mines.edu

More about Andréa

Andréa is working on combining information from magnetic and magnetotellurics data through joint inversion as well as machine learning techniques. She is applying this work to problems in critical mineral exploration as well as volcanic hazards. She is also interested in electrical anisotropy and the effects it has on magnetotelluric data.


Brett Bernstein
PhD student
bbernstein@mines.edu

More about Brett

Brett’s work primarily focuses on applying machine learning to improve the way we collect and interpret geophysical data. Sparse interpolation methods such as matrix completion enable smaller quantities of data to be collected while still yielding high-quality data. Furthermore, Brett is also interested in deep learning, specifically using convolutional neural networks to identify and interpret features within data. Other interests include designing low-cost instrumentation with an emphasis on humanitarian aspects, and drone-based geophysics.
