Mike Gurnis
Michael C. Gurnis is the John E. and Hazel S. Smits Professor of Geophysics; Clarence R. Allen Leadership Chair, Seismological Laboratory; Director, Seismological Laboratory; and Director, Schmidt Academy for Software Engineering at the California Institute of Technology.[1] Since 2009, Gurnis has served as director of the Caltech Seismological Laboratory ("Seismo Lab"), a leader in the study of earthquakes and geophysics for more than 100 years.[2][3][4]
Gurnis served as director of the Computational Infrastructure for Geodynamics (CIG),[5] an NSF-funded institute operated by Caltech which supports and promotes Earth science by developing and maintaining open-source software for computational geophysics and related fields.[6]
Gurnis was awarded the 2013 Agustus Love Medal for fundamental contributions to geodynamics from the European Geosciences Union.[7] He won the 2024 Inge Lehmann Medal.[8]
