Research summary

AI-generated

This record combines work on seismic imaging methods used to characterize oil and gas reservoirs, with an example study of thin sand layers in the Daqing oil field in China, alongside more recent work on imaging through scattering media using structured light techniques. Given the small and mixed publication record, prospective students should verify directly with the researcher which specific topic and lab they would be joining.
