Writing software, solving problems.

My EAGE abstracts:
Java estimation library for seismic processing (ps.gz)
Enhancement of discontinuities in seismic 3-D images (ps.gz)

Scientific Projects:

Jest, an object oriented numerical optimization framework in Java. The solvers are independent of a vector's data structure.
Discontinuity (ps.gz) attributes delineate subsurface faults and burried river channels.
Reservoir (ps.gz) simulation should be as simple as possible, but not simpler. Here are some thoughts on the topic.
Other Geophysics projects: some finished and some not.

Computer Projects:

Redoc, - REproducible DOCuments - is a system to maintain research software.
Iredoc, delivers reproducible documents on the Internt.
Jmovie (ps), is an interactive Java viewer that displays seismic data cubes in Internet browsers.
Other software that I worked on (World Wide Web design, Linux, Latex2e).

Ideas and resources:

If we share an interest, maybe we should collaborate ...

Ideas and resources that interest me. If we share an interest, come talk to me.
How to short notes on computer stuff.

About me:

This Biography is short and professional.
My Resume is a bit more detailed.
Other Career related files, such as my job criteria, and US visa situation.

Private stuff:

Here you need a username and password. I have this vision that all my files are available to me worldwide. However, I protect the more private files through password and encryption. Real secrets, of course, I don't keep here at all.

Address book contains the addresses of friend and foe.
Email addresses.
Calendar does what all calendars do.
Administrative stuff. Who would want to see that?
Fun stuff: Poetry, book and Film reviews, quotes, ideas ...

Chapters of my thesis

Intro and Abstract
Detection (ps.gz) of seismic discontinuities.
Processing (ps.gz) local-stationary data.
Algebraic Java (ps.gz) classes for optimization.
Reproducible (ps.gz) electronic documents.
Conclusions and Bibliography

My PhD thesis consists of of a collection of topics that I treat rather independently on my web page. However, above is a list of links to the various chapters. My thesis is also available at the official SEP thesis site as SEP report 99.

This SEP homepage was designed by Joel Schroeder and me. We added the SEP reports and theses as well as the software distribution to the Web site. We ensured that the pages load quickly and that they are friendly to search engines. Finally, we gave the pages a consistent look. I still like that page!
