And 1989 (Dr. sci. Nat.) At the Academy of Sciences PhD. In 1985 he worked in Moscow , Tbilisi and Leningrad . In 1994 he completed his habilitation in theoretical physics at the FSU Jena. Six years later he became an adjunct professor for geophysics with a focus on seismology until his retirement in 2010 . In 1999 and 2000 as well as 2004 he was visiting professor at the UNAM in Mexico.

His research topics include a. the theory of seismic waves with a focus on surface waves, seismology, seismic and ultrasonic tomography and the theory of fractals . His monograph on surface waves in disturbed media ( Surface Waves and Discontinuities ), published in 1987, is internationally regarded as the standard work on this topic. To this end, he occasionally reviews new specialist books .
