Our Team

With a background in acoustics, mechanical engineering and geophysics, Tianrun has strong multi-disciplinary skills with 14 years of academic and industry experience. He held several technical and project management roles in Halliburton and Shell, an experience that led to a profound understanding of the upstream energy business and operations. Tianrun led some critical engineering projects including sensor hardware and algorithm development and managed several multi-million dollar seismic acquisition and processing projects. He received a PhD degree from M.I.T in 2008.

Dr. Xinding Fang received his PhD in Geophysics from MIT and has 10+ years of experience in geophysics, petrophysics, geomechanics and data science and has participated in multiple projects related to seismic characterization, well logging and geomechanical analysis. He worked at Chevron as a researcher in the Drilling Department 2014~2017 and spent 5 years at the University of Houston and SUSTech conducting research and exploring new technologies in many different areas such as multi-physics sensing technology and data fusion, internet-of-things (IoT) hardware and software development and advanced acoustic/seismic sensing technologies. He has a proven academic experience and is the author or co-author of over 70 research publications and multiple patents in the areas of seismic characterization, borehole geophysics, rock physics and rock mechanics. He received the 2019 SEG J. Clarence Karcher Award in recognition of his excellent contributions to exploration geophysics.

Siwei is a computational geophysicist and applied mathematician with 8 years of industrial experiences. He started his career with Chevron in 2014 as a researcher developing cutting edge seismic processing techniques, then adopted an integrated, multi-disciplinary exploration role in the deep-water business unit before joining SensorEra. With a solid background in numerical and analytical skills, Siwei is not only interested in but also committed to developing innovative, cost-effective and reliable technological solutions for measurable business impacts. He holds a BSc in Geophysics from Peking University in 2009 and PhD in Geophysics from The University of Texas at Austin in 2014.

Nick has a diverse background in technical business leadership roles. Starting out as a seismologist in London with CGG eventually leading to a Regional Manager role for the borehole seismic group in South America. In 2005, he moved to the USA with a Baker Hughes-CGG JV company working in business development creating synergies between JV owners, employees and clients. He then spent 4 years as a Principal Geophysicist with Weatherford providing international on-site geophysical sales and operations support. Nick spent 9 years with READ Group guiding the USA team and promoting cutting edge equipment and seismic processing technology across the Americas. He holds a BSc in Geophysics from University College London and MSc in Basin Evolution & Dynamics from Royal Holloway.

George is an accomplished leader with over 30 years experience in operations, marketing and business development with distinguished service companies including Baker Hughes and Halliburton. George has been instrumental in offshore and onshore business development for borehole seismic services, fiber optic sensing data acquisition and processing throughout North America. With international project experience in over 20 countries including long-term postings in Europe, he has a keen eye for identifying and exploiting growth opportunities. George presents strong value propositions while executing superior service quality, leading to strong, lasting customer relations. He holds a BS degree in Petroleum Engineering from UT, Austin.

Jason is an experienced Data Acquisition Geophysicist and began his career at Veritas DGC Land in 2000. In 2005, Jason transitioned to BJV Design Inc. where he continued to design seismic programs worldwide and as he developed a leadership role in the company he started to focus on business, technology, and service development. During his career in seismic survey design he has designed and modeled over 3000 projects worldwide. Jason received a BSc in Geophysics from the University of Calgary in 1999 as well as a MSc in Geophysics in 2005.
