Work experience

  • february 2015 - june 2015 : R&D Geophysicist Intern at Total AS As part of the R&D team, my research Master thesis dealt with the feasibility of passive seismic tomography on onshore domain by designing and developing a workflow to retrieve the Green function from real ambient noise data and invert for a shear wave velocity model. This work includes:
    • Processing of ambient noise data: temporal normalization, spectral whitening, cross-correlation and stacking
    • Beamforming analysis to study the distribution of noise
    • Measuring of dispersion curves from cross-correlations using Frequency-Time analysis
    • Data quality control to reject bad measurements
    • Linear inversion for surface wave group velocity map at different periods
    • Non-linear inversion (Markov Chains Monte Carlo) for a shear wave velocity model All the codes have been implemented from scratch in Matlab.
  • march 2014 - september 2014 : R&D Geophysicist Intern at CGG Services Norway AS As part of the Marine R&D team, my work focused on the vibration noise in 4C multicomponent towed streamer data. My main contributions were:
    • Understanding marine seismic acquisition using multicomponent sensors
    • Understanding why current noise attenuation method (f-k dip filetering, f-x deconvolution, Radon transform…) failed on such noise by reviewing the pros and cons of their applications on typical noise in marine seismic data (coherent and random)
    • Successfully implementing a new method to attenuate streamer vibration noise by developing an algorithm based on Singular Spectrum Analysis and defining a processing workflow I also part-time worked with the Subsurface Imaging team as a data processing geophysicist.
