Dele Falebita, PhD

I'm a professional who bridges two worlds: the deep analytical rigor of geophysical research and the practical application of modern data engineering and analytics. With a PhD in Applied Geophysics and 19 years in research and academia, I've spent my career working with complex datasets—seismic interpretation, reservoir modeling, geospatial analytics, and risk assessment. I've published 32 peer-reviewed papers (337 citations), collaborated with oil/gas and mining companies, and mentored the next generation of geoscientists. Today, I'm actively engaged in both sectors. As Data Specialist at TechConnect Southeast, I optimize SQL databases and build responsive analytics dashboards—recently achieving a 98% performance improvement. Meanwhile, I maintain my geoscience practice and continue contributing to the field through research, industry collaboration, and volunteering. What I bring: * Deep domain expertise in applied geosciences, exploration geoscience, and geospatial analytics * Modern technical skills in SQL, Python, machine learning, cloud computing, and data visualization * Proven leadership experience managing 300+ staff as Vice-Dean * Track record of successful industry-academia collaboration * Commitment to using data and technology for meaningful impact I'm open to opportunities in: - Geoscience roles (exploration, reservoir analysis, geothermal, environmental) - Data analytics and business intelligence - Research and consulting positions - Roles that combine geoscience domain expertise with data science Based in Moncton, New Brunswick, and actively engaged in the communities through Civic Tech Moncton and professional networks. Let's connect if you're working at the intersection of geoscience and data, or if you're interested in how advanced analytics can solve complex earth science challenges.
