Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMauricio Sacchi is a Professor of Physics and Geophysics at the University of Alberta who directs the Signal Analysis and Imaging Group, pioneering sparse and multi-dimensional seismic data reconstruction and least-squares wave-equation migration methods. With a PhD from UBC and a research career dating back to the late 1980s, he has authored over 100 refereed papers and introduced sparse inversion techniques now used globally for noise attenuation and multidimensional reconstruction. He has supervised more than 25 graduate students—three of whom won SEG’s J. Clarence Karcher Award—and served as Editor of Geophysics (2015–2017) and as Department Chair. In addition to academic leadership, he runs Sacchi R&D, offering consultancy and multilingual short courses in seismic processing and inversion. An underappreciated strength is his sustained focus on high-dimensional (5D) methods—like multichannel SSA and tensor completion—that bridge theoretical signal processing with practical field-data improvements.
