👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolConor Bacon is a research scientist at NORSAR with nine years of experience applying seismology to polar and volcanic systems. He holds a PhD in Geophysics from Cambridge and has conducted postdoctoral research at Lamont-Doherty and Cambridge, blending observational analysis with open-source software development. His work spans cryo- and volcano-seismology, seismic wave propagation, and automated Python toolchains for data download, processing, and analysis. Comfortable in both field-focused research and reproducible computational workflows, he has a track record of turning complex seismic problems into practical, shareable tools. Colleagues know him for combining rigorous quantitative science with hands-on engineering, and for improving long-term project continuity through well-documented code and handovers.
