Senior🎓
Top SchoolSergey Fomel is a professor of computational and exploration geophysics at The University of Texas at Austin with 23 years of experience applying seismic imaging, wave propagation, and inverse problem techniques to subsurface characterization. Trained at Novosibirsk State University and Stanford (Ph.D.), he moved from research roles and a Schlumberger advisory post into a long-term academic career that blends fundamental theory with practical seismic data analysis. His work spans seismic imaging algorithm development and advanced wave-propagation modeling, often translating inverse-method advances into tools used by exploration teams. Based in Austin, he maintains a research profile that bridges academia and industry, reflecting collaborations from national labs to commercial geophysics. Beyond publications, he is known for turning mathematically sophisticated ideas into usable workflows and software for real-world seismic processing.
