Ertan Peksen

I  am a PhD student at Consortium for Electromagnetic Modeling and Inversion, the University of Utah. I graduated in 1993 (BS) from the University of Ankara, in geophysics. I worked as a research assistant at Ankara University Graduate School of Natural and Applied Science. I received my Master of Science degree in geophysics from the Department of Geology and Geophysics, the University of Utah, in 1999.  My research interest is modeling and inversion of tensor induction well logging in anisotropic media.
