Joseph Razik is assistant professor at the University of Toulon and DYNI project of the LSIS lab since September 2009. After completing a Ph.D. in automatic speech recognition, he acquired skills in the field of multimodal speaker recognition during his postdoctoral training. The themes of his research fields on Pattern Recognition in Artificial Intelligence are applied to audio and video and deal with classification, segmentation and indexing of audio and/or video. Through these themes and experiences, Joseph Razik has gained expertise in statistical modeling (HMM, GMM, SVM, etc.) and parameters extraction, both in audio and video mode.

Researcher CR CNRS Paul Cristini

Researcher Director CNRSDimitri Komatitsch

équipe Ondes et Imagerie

My research interests include the numerical study of acoustic or seismic wave propagation and adjoint/inverse problems in industrial, oceanic or geophysical structures, and the study of associated effects related to strong local heterogeneities and/or steep topography. I also work on numerical modeling and imaging in the context of non destructive testing. I use a variational formulation of the equations of elastodynamics, and solve it in three dimensions (3-D) using the so-called spectral-element method, a high-order version of the finite-element method, which can be shown to be very accurate at low cost, and particularly well suited to an efficient implementation on parallel computers. This work is done in collaboration with Prof. Jeroen Tromp at Princeton University (USA) and Prof. Qinya Liu at Toronto University (Canada). We apply such numerical techniques to the study of wave propagation both at the scale of the Earth and in sedimentary basins, in particular in Southern California. The full source code of our software package SPECFEM is available open source from Geodynamics.org.
