Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Optics
  • Mathematical analysis
  • Algorithm

Jean Virieux mainly investigates Inversion, Frequency domain, Seismology, Wave propagation and Algorithm. Jean Virieux has included themes like Iterative method, Mathematical optimization, Inverse problem and Optics in his Inversion study. His Frequency domain research integrates issues from Isotropy, Solver, Wavenumber and Anisotropy.

His research integrates issues of Seismic tomography and Crust in his study of Seismology. The various areas that Jean Virieux examines in his Wave propagation study include Mathematical analysis, Finite difference method, Amplitude, Computation and Seismogram. His Algorithm research includes themes of Probabilistic logic, Norm, Relation and Geophysical imaging.

His most cited work include:

  • P-SV wave propagation in heterogeneous media: Velocity‐stress finite‐difference method (2026 citations)
  • An overview of full-waveform inversion in exploration geophysics (2018 citations)
  • Two‐dimensional nonlinear inversion of seismic waveforms: Numerical results (464 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Jean Virieux spends much of his time researching Inversion, Seismology, Mathematical analysis, Algorithm and Frequency domain. His studies deal with areas such as Acoustics, Regional geology, Environmental geology and Geophysical imaging as well as Inversion. The study incorporates disciplines such as Amplitude and Seismic tomography, Tomography in addition to Seismology.

His studies in Mathematical analysis integrate themes in fields like Wave propagation, Cartesian coordinate system and Free surface. He works mostly in the field of Algorithm, limiting it down to topics relating to Inverse problem and, in certain cases, Hessian matrix. His research on Frequency domain also deals with topics like

  • Solver that connect with fields like Applied mathematics, System of linear equations, Massively parallel and Linear system,
  • Discretization that connect with fields like Geometry.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Inversion (32.49%)
  • Seismology (28.43%)
  • Mathematical analysis (19.80%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2015-2021)?

  • Inversion (32.49%)
  • Full waveform (14.47%)
  • Algorithm (19.04%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

His main research concerns Inversion, Full waveform, Algorithm, Seismology and Mathematical analysis. His work deals with themes such as Time domain, Wave propagation, Mathematical optimization, Seismic tomography and Attenuation, which intersect with Inversion. Jean Virieux interconnects Surface wave, Geophysics and Regular polygon in the investigation of issues within Full waveform.

His Algorithm study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Regional geology, Geomorphology and Geophysical imaging. His Mathematical analysis research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Cartesian coordinate system and Inverse. His study explores the link between Tomography and topics such as Geometry that cross with problems in Inverse problem.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Measuring the misfit between seismograms using an optimal transport distance: application to full waveform inversion (137 citations)
  • An optimal transport approach for seismic tomography: application to 3D full waveform inversion (74 citations)
  • A review on the systematic formulation of 3-D multiparameter full waveform inversion in viscoelastic medium (45 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Mathematical analysis
  • Optics
  • Algorithm

Inversion, Algorithm, Mathematical analysis, Computation and Full waveform are his primary areas of study. His study in Inversion is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Wave propagation, Attenuation, Mineralogy and Geophysical imaging. His Algorithm study incorporates themes from Seismic migration, Mathematical optimization and Maxima and minima.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Time domain, Seismic tomography and Cartesian coordinate system. His Full waveform research incorporates elements of Numerical analysis and Truncated Newton method. Jean Virieux focuses mostly in the field of Amplitude, narrowing it down to topics relating to Anisotropy and, in certain cases, Poromechanics and Seismology.
