Geophysicist

WORK EXPERIENCE

Processing Geophysicist
Indepth Geophysical - Houston, TX - Desember 2012 to Present
1. Achieved high quality depth images by using Tomography, Beam migration and Reverse
Time Migration in several challenging 2D and 3D seismic processing projects (Salt domes,
carbonate and salt multiplayers are major cause of the challenge)
2. Developed working python scripts to building VTI/ TTI and salt models
3. Adequate experience in time processing with Geoeast

Research Assistant
Rice University - Houston, TX - Februari 2007 to Mei 2012
1. Analyzed density variation of charge waves using Fourier analysis to demonstrate the existence of
degenerate energy levels
2. Fitted data with physics models to determine the broadening width of energy levels
3. Lead a group of three students to work on the microwave effect on quantum transport
and publish a paper in the top 1 physics journal
4. Building invisible memories and logic circuits based on SiOx phase-change switches
5. Published 6 papers in top peer-reviewed physics journals
