Geoscientist focused on subsurface characterization and CCUS for the energy transition.
What I'm looking for
I am a geoscientist with over two years' experience in the energy sector and an M.Sc. from King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals (GPA 3.821/4), focused on subsurface characterization and the energy transition.
My technical work spans petrophysical reservoir characterization, well log and core analysis using IP (Interactive Petrophysics) and Petrel, seismic reservoir interpretation with Jason software, permeability simulation, and digital rock physics. I have developed 3D-printed proxies for permeability measurement and conducted petrophysical evaluations that support reservoir understanding.
Outside technical roles I translated research into impact as a Product and Research Associate, improving product design by 20% in three months, and as host of The Green Shift Podcast where I produced 10 episodes and reached 100 listeners within a month. I seek opportunities to apply CCUS modeling and subsurface expertise to decarbonization in collaborative, innovation-driven teams.
