Profile
Abstract
Josefine Umlauft is the head of the Earth and Environmental Sciences group at ScaDS.AI (Center for Scalable Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence) in Leipzig. Her main research interests are on Environmental Seismology and methodological developments for an improved understanding of near-surface environmental processes on the exploration scale. She thereby focuses on natural hazards and mass movements, especially in the cryosphere and mountainous regions. Based on highly resolved time series data, Josefine Umlauft combines signal processing, source location (array techniques), modelling and machine learning to conduct her research.
