Roman Beloborodov
Postdoctoral Fellow in Seismic QI and Inversion
I am an experienced research geophysicist working on advanced inverse methods for seismic QI, with a strong background in rock physics and petrophysics. For a long time, my research interests have been in the field of multi-scale characterisation of rock properties. Hence, I have extensive experience in laboratory rock testing, processing and interpretation of borehole data and quantitative seismic interpretation using advanced inversion algorithms and machine learning techniques. During my research career, I have been working on a number of commercial and scientific projects involving rock physics modelling of the anisotropic properties of shales, automation of rock physics analysis of the borehole data, and end-to-end seismic inversion and interpretation workflows. Currently, Within Deep Earth Imaging, I am developing probabilistic seismic inversion framework with embedded rock physics models to assist the advanced inverse methods research theme.
