Dmitrii Merzlikin is a research geophysicist with a decade of experience applying inverse theory, optimization, and signal processing to seismic imaging and Earth model building at Schlumberger. He holds a PhD in Computational Seismology from UT Austin and has a strong academic footprint (Google Scholar) bridging diffraction imaging, sparse inversion, and automatic velocity estimation. Dmitrii’s work spans field acquisition to high-performance computing and production workflows, from ultra-high-resolution marine surveys to EMB tomography and shallow multiple attenuation. Earlier roles at the Bureau of Economic Geology honed his skills in template matching, polarization filtering, and ML-based earthquake detection to boost network sensitivity. He combines deep theoretical expertise with practical software development (C/C++, Python, MATLAB) and hands-on field QC, a blend that lets him translate novel imaging methods into deployable solutions. Based in Houston, he often operates at the intersection of research and applied engineering, turning advanced algorithms into improvements for real-world seismic datasets.
