Albert Tarantola

Albert Tarantola

Albert Tarantola is a Spanish-born physicist (Barcelona, June 15, 1949 — ), currently working at the University of Paris (Institut de Physique du Globe), and author of a well-known book about "inverse problems" (Tarantola, 1987, 2005). Tarantola was the leader of the Geophysical Tomography Group, that during the years 1985—2000 developed modern methods for the interpretation of waveform data. Apart from doing scientific research, Tarantola has taught both at his own institute in Paris and at other universities.
