George Apostolopoulos

Born in Pyrgos, Ilia, Greece, in 1959. He holds a degree in Physics (1982, University of Athens), a Master's degree (1984, University of Leeds) and a Doctorate (1993, University of Athens) in Applied Geophysics. He worked as a Scientific Consultant at the GSRT (1994-2000, PAVE Program Manager, member of the RTD PMAC Committee of the European Commission), as an Operational Scientist at the NDC and Technical Director at the Hellenic Innovation Redistribution Center (2000-2002). From 2002 until today he is a faculty member at NTUA, at the School of Mining and Metallurgical Engineering, currently Professor in Applied Geophysics. He has supervised theses and doctoral dissertations (either as a supervisor or a member of the seven-member committee) related to Applied Geophysics and engineering issues. The main scientific interest is the application of Applied Geophysics in small and medium depth studies (topics: engineering, environmental, archaeological and geothermal) supported by the respective Lab. He has published in the major journals of the subject (Geophysics, Journal of Applied Geophysics, Near Surface Geophysics, Tectonophysics, Journal of Archaeological Exploration). He was (elected) Chairman of the Near Surface Division Committee and a member of the Board of the EAGE in the period 2018-2019. Member of HGU, BGS, EAGE, SEG Associations.

Suvi Heinonen

Dr Suvi Heinonen is working as a team manager in Geological Survey in Finland in the Geophysical Solutions unit. She received her PhD in 2013 about utilization of seismic reflection profiling for massive sulfide exploration. Beside seismic methods, her research interest include 3D-geomodelling in various different applications from groundwater resources to mineral system models.

Chris Nind

Chris Nind is a professional geophysicist based in Oakville, Ontario. He is currently the VP Business Development for Abitibi Geophysics. Prior tojoining Abitibi Geophysics, he was the General Chair of DMEC’sExploration ’17 conference that was held in Toronto in October 2017.Since graduating in 1977 from Queen’s University with a BSc in mathematics, he has worked as a geophysicist with Geoterrex, Dighemand Fugro Airborne Surveys in various management positions. From 2004to 2013, he was the President & CEO of Scintrex Ltd. He has authored and co-authored numerous technical papers on exploration geophysics and presented papers at many international conferences. He is a past-President of KEGS and he currently serves as director and treasurer on the boards of the KEGS Foundation and DMEC.

Magdalena Markovic Juhlin

Magdalena is PhD student at Uppsala University (Sweden) and her research deals with reflection seismic imaging and interpretation for deep targeting of mineral deposits. Her research focus is application of deep-learning algorithms for diffraction delineation and denoising in hard rock environment. Successful case studies cover iron-oxide deposits in Sweden and massive sulphides inCanada, some of which show clear diffraction signature suitable for deep-learning solutions.
