I am a Ph.D. student in the Earth Science and Engineering program at KAUST, where I work under the supervision of Prof. Tariq Alkhalifah. My research combines deep learning with geophysical inversion, with a focus on implicit full waveform inversion and other approaches based on implicit neural representations.
