Ettore Biondi received a B.S. (2010) in geology from the University of Genoa, an M.S. (2012) in geophysics from the University of Pisa, and a diploma (2013) in computational chemistry from the Scuola Normale Superiore of Pisa. He spent almost two years as a research fellow at the University of Milan within the geophysics section of the Earth Science Department. In the summer of 2014, he joined the Stanford Exploration Project and earned his Ph.D. from Stanford University in 2021. During his Ph.D., he worked on multi-parameter inversion and wave-equation velocity estimation methods. Additionally, he also worked on synthetic aperture radar data processing as well as ultrasound medical applications. Currently, he is a postdoctoral researcher within the California Institute of Technology Seismological Laboratory working on distributed acoustic sensing recordings for seismological applications.
