About

I am a clean energy enthusiast who is currently conducting research on carbon sequestration. This research helps to reduce the baleful effect of the atmospheric emission of greenhouse gases and its impact on some communities around the world. I am passionate about seeing people living without fear of environmental disasters associated with climate change. I am using my data analytic and computational skills to build data-driven models for the assessment of a potential storage site for carbon storage and enhanced hydrocarbon recovery.
Currently working on the United States, Department of Energy-funded project on the assessment of carbon dioxide storage potential in the Gulf of Mexico.
I am interested in using my skills to develop cutting-edge and permanent solutions for energy companies to improve operations and efficiency. I plan to develop innovative carbon and hydrogen storage methodology for the promotion of clean energy.
I am proficient in Petrel for seismic data analysis, Techlog for Petrophysical analysis, Hampson Russell for AVO and seismic inversion analysis, PetroMod for basin modeling, ENVI to generate topographic maps from satellite data, EasyCore to generate a core log, MATLAB for numerical modeling, Python and R programming for data analysis, and ArcMap for generating maps, GIS Pro to join different dataset, georeference maps, visualize data, and carryout geostatistical analysis.
