Summary
Tianjiang Li is a geophysical advisor and senior processing geophysicist with a Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics & Computational Science and over 17 years of experience delivering seismic processing and subsurface solutions across the Gulf of Mexico, Brazil, West Africa and onshore U.S. basins. He combines hands-on production leadership—having managed 100+ seismic projects and built in-house processing tools—with technical project management supporting global business units at Oxy. His work bridges advanced algorithm development (PCA-based system reduction, model-based multiple attenuation, vector-tile optimized stacking) and customer-facing delivery, ensuring pragmatic workflows tied to timeline and cost. Known for collaborating closely with R&D, he has contributed to orthorhombic VMB, weighted dip-constrained tomography and RTM illumination enhancements, bringing research methods into production. Based in Houston, he pairs deep quantitative training with operational execution, often translating complex math into efficient subsurface answers.
