Chanho Park, Ph.D. Student in Geophysics
Chanho joins after graduating with a BSc. in Geology from Calvin College. His first project involved cemetery lot assessment for a local township in Jackson, MI using GPR. As a Ph.D. student, his interests are in aerial application of geophysical methods using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles. Currently, he is developing methods for airborne VLF system with applications to landfill leachate monitoring.
Brandon Tulban, Ph.D. student in Geophysics
Brandon got his bachelor’s degree in Geology and an undergraduate certificate in hydrogeology from Western Michigan University. He started his first research project as an undergrad using Electrical Resistivity Tomography, He enjoys research and learning about the world using non-invasive geophysical instruments. Brandon continues to learn all that he can about geoscience and geophysics by furthering his education at Western Michigan University in the Geoscience Doctoral Program.

Nazife Onaral, MSc. Student in Geophysics
Naz is a graduate student in geophysics pursuing a master’s degree. She graduated from Istanbul Technical University (ITU) in Turkey with a B.S. in Geological Engineering. Currently, her research is focused on exploring plant-root-soil interaction using GPR and Electrical Resistivity Tomography. She is proficient in Matlab, AutoCAD, Surfer and COMSOL.
Hydrogeology Field Course -Surface Geophysics
Western Michigan University, Department of Geological and Environmental Sciences offers one of very few hydrotechnical programs in the United States. Surface Geophysics module is taught by Dr. Dogan during the first week of the camp. Here are the photos of our students who joined, NSG Lab. briefly during their training.
