Felix J. Herrmann is a professor with appointments at the College of Sciences (EAS), Computing (CSE), and Engineering (ECE) at the Georgia Institute of Technology. He leads the Seismic Laboratory for Imaging and modeling (SLIM) and he is co-founder/director of the Center for Machine Learning for Seismic (ML4Seismic). This Center is designed to foster industrial research partnerships and drive innovations in artificial-intelligence assisted seismic imaging, interpretation, analysis, and time-lapse monitoring. In 2019, he toured the world presenting the SEG Distinguished Lecture. In 2020, he was the recipient of the SEG Reginald Fessenden Award for his contributions to seismic data acquisition with compressive sensing. Since his arrival at Georgia Tech in 2017, he expanded his research program to include machine learning for Bayesian wave-equation based inference using techniques from simulation-based inference. More recently, he started a research program on seismic monitoring of Geological Carbon Storage, which includes the development of an uncertainty-aware Digital Twin.

Tianze graduated with a B.Sc. in Applied Geophysics from Jilin University, China, in June 2015 and later earned his M.Sc. in Geological Engineering at the same university in June 2018. He joined CREWES in September 2018 and completed his Ph.D. in 2024 under the supervision of Kris Innanen. His research focuses on forward modeling methods, seismic inversion, optimization methods, uncertainty quantification and machine learning.
