Official university profile

My work brings seismic interpretation and reservoir characterization together with data-driven subsurface analysis.

As a Lecturer in Petroleum and Mining Engineering at SUST, I connect applied geoscience with teaching, mentoring and collaborative research. My experience includes working with field seismic and well-log datasets for academic and industry-oriented studies.

I am interested in combining geophysical methods with machine learning and deep learning to improve the way we interpret and model the subsurface.
