Professional Work Experience

A. Present Position: Research Associate, Bureau of Economic Geology, The University of Texas at Austin (March 2005 - Present).

B. Research Assistant, University of Houston (2002 - 2005).

Generalization of Robert Stolt's "Seismic Data Reconstruction" and the implications of missing data near the source for free surface and internal multiple attenuation. Development of innovative techniques for the interpretation of 2D and 3D marine data imaging with proven results toward the discovery of pockets of potential energy reserves. Work on implications for inverse series of finite date and the inherent problems of extrapolation in the crossline direction for marine exploration.
