Waves: forward and inverse
New fundamental theoretical models and inversion methods.
Learn moreAbout Myself
I am a Senior Research Advisor at Shearwater GeoServices.
Previously, I was an Assistant Professor at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) in the
Earth Science and Engineering program, part of the
Physical Science and Engineering division. I led the
Deep Imaging Group,
I was a member of the Extreme Computing Research Center; moreover, together with
my colleague Professor Tariq Alkalifah I created the
DeepWave consortium.
Prior to that, I worked in Equinor, both as research scientist and reservoir geophysicist.
During my time in industry I contributed to the development of geophysical technologies aimed at identifying new discoveries as well
as increasing hydrocarbon recovery of existing reservoirs. I have also been involved in the development of several open-source software
packages to ease the use of geophysical data and improve reproducibility in the area of inverse problems.
I earned a PhD in Geophysics from the University of Edinburgh as part of the
Edinburgh Interferomety Project under the supervision of Prof. Andrew Curtis.
My research contributions spanned across the fields of seismic processing, imaging, and inversion through the development
of novel methods aimed at using high-order reverberations to improve the quality and resolution of subsurface imaging products.
