Bio/Research
Frederik J. Simons joined the faculty as an Assistant Professor of Geosciences in 2006 and was promoted in 2013 to Associate Professor, with continuing tenure. Between 2010 and 2013 he was the Dusenbury University Preceptor of Geological & Geophysical Sciences. Currently he is also an Associated Faculty member in the Program in Applied & Computational Mathematics.
Previously, he was a Lecturer at University College London, a Princeton Council of Science & Technology Beck Fellow and a Department of Geosciences Hess Post-doctoral Fellow. His Ph.D. in Geophysics is from M.I.T. and his M.Sc. in Geology from the KU Leuven in Belgium, of which he is a native.
His research encompasses various aspects of solid-earth geophysics. More specifically, he studies the physical properties of the terrestrial lithosphere, focusing in particular on the elastic and thermo-mechanical properties of the continents, by seismic tomography and the (cross-)spectral analysis of gravity and topography. With his group, Frederik has developed mathematical methods for the localized analysis of scalar and vectorial fields on the sphere, for satellite geodesy, geomagnetism, and cosmology, designed wavelet-based signal processing methods for global and exploration seismology, and developed oceanic instrumentation to close the seismic coverage gap over the Earth's oceans.
