Andy Hooper is a Professor of Geodesy and Geophysics at the University of Leeds. He has pioneered the development of new algorithms to accurately extract deformation of the ground from time series of satellite radar images, which are now widely used in the community (StaMPS). He has also developed new methods for modelling the volcanic and tectonic processes that lead to ground deformation. He led the long-term deformation effort in the €6M European FUTUREVOLC project, which established an integrated volcanological monitoring procedure in Iceland, and the work to integrate geophysical, geochemical and petrological monitoring data in the €6M EUROVOLC project. Andy is currently PI of the European Research Council Consolidator Grant, DEEPVOLC Project, which aims to forecast volcanic activity using deep learning.
