Exploration Geoscientist - Basin Modeling, Schlumberger, Aachen Technology Center of Excellence for Basin Modeling (2013 - 2020)
I worked on projects that focused on basin analysis consulting studies (Europe, North and South America, West Africa) with an interest in understanding temporal basin and rock property evolution, pore pressure development and prediction and the interplay between mechanical and chemical processes using numerical models. Additionally, a critical part of the role was working with the back-end teams contributing to the research and development of the commercial numerical modeling and simulation engine and interfacing software platforms developed.
