Research Geologist (Data Science and Energy)
Data Science - Machine learning algorithms / Optimisation - Deep learning on lithotype classification - Large dataset management and manipulation - MLOps Energy - Petroleum Geoscience - Numerical modeling and data analysis - CCS and EGR

University Associate (Engineering and Petrophysics)
Perth, Australia
- Researched and developed exploratory analysis, visualization, and synthesis of wireline logs with python and data analytic techniques. - Applied machine learning techniques (KNN, K-means, SVM, Decision Trees) to well log datasets for the data analysis, petrophysical property prediction, and facies classification. - Developed numerical models and analyzed modeling results on carbon sequestration and unconventional resources extraction.

PhD Candidate (Petrophysics and Reservoir Engineering)
Perth
Extensive laboratory experiments and numerical modeling, plus data analysis: - Curated and analyzed LWD and wireline logs with python, excel, etc. to evaluate geochemical and petrophysical properties of targeted formations. - Managed, integrated, and analyzed data from multiple sources for the in-depth understanding of tight sandstone. - Researched significantly on geochemical, geomechanical, and petrophysical data collected from rock samples for further analysis and modeling. - Developed and analyzed multiscale numerical models to qualitatively and quantitatively evaluate the effects of electromagnetic heating on rock geochemical, geomechanical, and petrophysical properties. - Wrote scientific papers and conference manuscripts, presented at international conferences, and publish academic journal papers.
