What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an early-career geophysics role where I can apply electrical resistivity, VES (Schlumberger), and software workflows (RES2DINV/IPI2WIN/Surfer/ArcGIS) to deliver groundwater and subsurface interpretations, mapping, and field-to-report technical outputs.

I’m a geophysics graduate with hands-on experience in electrical resistivity surveys, groundwater exploration, and geophysical data interpretation. I specialize in Vertical Electrical Sounding (VES) using the Schlumberger array to investigate subsurface conditions and detect groundwater potential zones.

In my National Youth Service Corps role as a “Team Lead – Geophysical Data Interpretation,” I led interpretation workflows using RES2DINV and IPI2WIN, supported contour mapping and 3D subsurface modelling in Surfer, and collaborated to deliver structured technical reports. As a Geophysics and Groundwater Intern at RUWASSA, I conducted VES field surveys, handled electrode setup and data acquisition, interpreted sounding curves, and used RES2DINV, Surfer, and ArcGIS to produce maps and support drilling decisions.

Work history, roles, and key accomplishments

Geophysics and Groundwater Intern

Rural Water Supply and Sanitation Agency (RUWASSA)

Jun 2022 - Aug 2023 (1 year 2 months)

Conducted electrical resistivity (VES) surveys for groundwater exploration using the Schlumberger array, including electrode setup and field measurements. Processed and interpreted data in IPI2WIN and RES2DINV, produced contour maps and 3D subsurface models with Surfer, and used ArcGIS for mapping to support drilling operations.
