Alison Malcolm received her PhD in Geophysics with a Mathematics minor from the Colorado School of Mines in 2005. She then held Postdoctoral positions at the University of Minnesota and Utrecht University before becoming an Assistant Professor in the Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary sciences Department at MIT in 2008.
Professor Malcolm is interested in developing seismic imaging algorithms for complex structures. Her group focuses in particular on multiply scattered waves with the intent to illuminate structures that are missed by singly reflected waves.
