Roman Pasteka

Head of Department, Associated Professor (Department of applied and environmental geophysics, Faculty of Natural Sciences, Comenius University, Bratislava, Slovak Republic)

BIO

Roman Pašteka received a Ph.D. in applied geophysics (1996) from the Comenius University (Bratislava) and since that year he has been working there as a university lecturer at the Department of Applied and Environmental Geophysics, where he became in September 2011 the head of the department. Since 2000 he works also as a senior geophysicist for the private company G-trend Ltd. and since 2003 he is also an external lecturer at the Institute of Meteorology and Geophysics, Vienna University (Austria). His professional work is focused on the methodology of potential-field data processing and interpretation. In the branch of archaeo-geophysics he focuses on the microgravity method (mainly for cavities detection) and enhanced derivatives in magnetic field transformation. He is a member of EAGE and SEG.
