Summary
Julia Gestrich is a postdoctoral researcher based in Munich with eight years of experience applying seismology and infrasound techniques to volcano and geyser dynamics. Her work bridges acoustic emissions, electric charge changes, and discharge phenomena during eruptions, blending field data analysis with numerical modeling and high-performance computing. During a multi-year tenure at the University of Alaska Fairbanks she developed spectral fitting and acoustic propagation codes, processed array and spectral data on supercomputers and GPUs, and produced physical models for seismic noise from eruptions. She holds a PhD in Geophysics and Seismology and brings a rare combination of hands-on fieldwork (e.g., Stromboli radar/video studies) and software-driven analysis. Colleagues value her for combining rigorous data processing with inventive modeling approaches that reveal links between sound, seismic signals, and electrostatic processes.
