Kinzo Kishida

Kinzo Kishida is the founder and CEO of Neubrex Co. Ltd., Japan. He holds a PhD degree from Osaka University, Japan. His fields of expertise are shock waves in condensed materials, dynamic brittle fracture mechanics, and especially distributed optical fiber sensing, which he has been working on since 1997. Before founding Neubrex in 2002, he worked for Advanced Research and Development Institute of Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, Japan. Dr Kishida acquired over 50 international patents in all aspects of distributed optical fiber sensing, including high (cm-order) spatial resolution Brillouin and Rayleigh scattering strain and temperature systems, hybrid and chemical sensing, and the invention and design of distributed pressure, acoustic, temperature, and strain (DPATS) cable, which exposes optical fiber directly to fluids in downhole environment. His recent direction is high performance DAS and helical surface seismic cable on 3D vector wave field.


Ali Shaiban

Ali Shaiban did his bachelor degree at Curtin University and his master’s degree in Geophysics from The University of Edinburgh. He has been working in borehole seismic for around 8 years to process different types of VSP acquisitions mainly using geophone arrays. Recently, he has been extensively working with VSP data acquired using fiber optic cables.
