2009-2011 Anadarko/SEG Scholarship By providing funding to support geophysics students, the Anadarko/SEG Scholarship program is not only helping secure the future of our profession, it is also helping students (including me) achieve our dreams. Below, I summarize some of my recent achievements and goals. PhD Research
I am currently developing innovative seismic reservoir monitoring methods that may change the way we acquire and process seismic data for reservoir monitoring. My research aims to improve conventional 4D seismic processing methods; reduce 4D seismic acquisition and processing cost; and enable monitoring in difficult geological environments. Preliminary results from my research have been published in GEOPHYSICS and presented at the SEG, EAGE and OTC conferences. Throughout the remaining part of my PhD, I will continue my seismic imaging research at the Stanford Exploration Project, in the Geophysics Department at Stanford University. Other Interests
Through the SEG Foundation and other donors, and in conjunction with another Anadarko/SEG scholar (Mr. Adeyemi Arogunmati), I organized an Archeological field study in Nigeria. This study was conducted in December 2009 in collaboration with researchers and students at Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Nigeria. Using near surface geophysics methods, we successfully mapped buried pre-historic pavements at a local community. These pavements are some of the scant Archeological artifacts that provide information about the livelihoods of the pre-historic inhabitants of that region. Goals
I plan to complete my PhD next year. After graduation, I plan to work in the research and development division of an international energy company. During my career, I hope to continue to actively contribute to the geophysical community and seek ways geophysical techniques can help meet local and global human needs. Thank you, Anadarko!
