Education

PhD, Earth and Environmental Sciences

Université de Paris · France

Jan 2016 – Dec 2021

In my Ph.D. research, I explored the integration of optimal transport theory into geophysical full waveform inversion (FWI), with a particular focus on the Sinkhorn divergence as a robust and scalable objective function. This work represents one of the earliest efforts to apply regularized OT-based distances to the optimization of subsurface models in seismic imaging.
