Fabien Borocin
Fabien is a research student at the Edinburgh Anisotropy Project. His thesis deals with upscaling and the design of a hierarchical equivalent medium process that would fit the geological structure underlying the experimental data and could be easily handled by EAP personnel directly involved in seismic analysis.
He is still reluctant to a conversion to geology, although he enjoys being at the crossroads of different worlds, languages, ways of tackling problems that naturally evolve here at the juncture between geologists and physicists. He actually graduated in Physical Engineering from the Ecole Nationale Superieure de Physique de Strasbourg (France)/ Louis Pasteur University in 1994. This formation allowed him to thrive his interests in the techniques of imagery and mathematical modelling in physics, mechanics and biomedical applications.
