Biography

I am a first-year Ph.D. student at KAUST, working on machine learning and geophysics under the supervision of Prof. Tariq Alkhalifah. My research interests include seismic processing, seismic inversion, and natural earthquakes, with a particular focus on organically integrating generative models into geophysical problem-solving.

Outside the lab, I am deeply into music, with similarly broad tastes ranging from hyperpop to Tchaikovsky.

Research Interests

Machine Learning , Full Waveform Inversion, Seismic Processing
