Position

Frank B. Baird Jr,. Professor of Science, Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, Harvard University, Cambridge, USA.

Research interests

geophysics

His main research interest is in global seismic tomography: mapping the deep interior of the Earth. He also has a longstanding interest in the characterization of the seismic source and global seismicity.

Prizes and awards

1998Crafoord Prize, shared with Don L. Anderson, "for fundamental contributions to our knowledge of the structures and processes in the interior of the Earth"
