The British Geophysical Association is delighted to announce that the Bullerwell Lecturer for 2024 will be Dr. Iraklis Giannakis from the University of Aberdeen.

Iraklis completed his PhD in 2015 on numerical modelling of ground penetrating radar for landmine detection at the University of Edinburgh. This was followed by postdoctoral research positions at Delft University of Technology, the University of Edinburgh, and the University of West London, before moving to the University of Aberdeen in 2020.The main focus of his research is using innovative artificial intelligence concepts, signal processing and inversion to solve problems in applied geophysics and non-destructive testing. His research extends across a wide range of disciplines and has focused on topics with high societal value such as landmine detection, marine geophysics and forestry applications. 

The title of his Bullerwell lecture is: 

“Exploring the far side of the Moon using Ground-Penetrating Radar”
