Oscar Mojica is a technical consultant and geoscientist with nine years of experience applying high-performance computing to seismic imaging and wave-propagation problems. Based at SENAI CIMATEC in Bahia, Brazil, he develops and optimizes Fortran and Python code for anisotropic wave simulations, GPU acceleration, MPI parallelism, and production-grade HPC workflows. He led a Shell-sponsored research project that implemented parallel optimization techniques to bootstrap full-waveform inversion, and today implements anisotropic FWI and least-squares RTM in Devito. An active open-source contributor, he contributed TTI qP-wave kernels and adjoint-test improvements to the widely used Devito finite-differences framework. Combining a PhD-level background in geophysics with hands-on code optimization and performance testing, he brings a rare mix of domain science and low-level HPC engineering.

Contributions summary:Oscar contributed to the development of the TTI (Transversely Isotropic) pure qP-wave equation implementation. They implemented finite-difference kernels and stencils related to the TTI wave equation. Their work involved defining the mathematical equations and incorporating them into the Devito framework, as well as adjusting the code based on flake8 rules and improving adjoint tests. These changes indicate contributions toward the numerical simulation of wave propagation in anisotropic media.
