Research Interests

I am interested in applying artificial intelligence, notably computer vision with deep learning, to a range of Earth Science questions. These include foundation models and deep learning models for subsurface (core, logs, and seismic data), multimodal generative AI models, automation of remote sensing interpretation with deep learning, and surrogate deep learning model for geological numerical simulations (notably, forward stratigraphic models). My research addresses a number of societal challenges including energy security, climate change, and planetary sciences.

Brief Research Interests

Applying AI to: (1) understand both paleo and current climate and environmental changes and (2) advance the transition to cleaner geo-energies to meet global energy demands.
