Biography

I am a second year MSc student at KAUST. I work mainly on machine learning applied for geophysical inverse problems like Seismic Super Resolution and Full Waveform Inversion. Before coming to KAUST I also did some work on well logs and gravity and magnetic data inversion.

My hobbies are water sports like swimming and waterpolo, and I like playing chess and video games.

Research Interests

Machine Learning, Full Waveform Inversion
