Biography


Research Interests

My research interest lies in seismic parameter inversion and modeling, employing deep learning to
extract medium properties from seismic data. I aim to indirectly enhance reservoir simulation and fluid
flow understanding in the subsurface reservoir. My ultimate goal is to use seismic data innovatively to
advance subsurface reservoir understanding and management.
