Obituary Prof. Kashtan
27 October 2020, by IfG
Our valued colleague and cooperation partner from the University St. Petersburg, Russia, Prof. Dr. Boris Kashtan, unexpectedly died on July 26th, 2020. For almost 3 decades Boris was cooperating with the institute, which led to many publications and conference contributions, partially resulting form the joint supervision of PhD students. Each summer, Boris visited the institute for our joint research on problems of applied seismics. He was an outstanding theoretician who liked to start from basic principles to explain complex wave propagation phenomena and based on this knowledge to develop new methods for subsurface imaging. A detailed obituary can we found here. We
will keep worthy memory of Boris.
