Overview

Welcome to the Seismic Modeling and Inversion (SMI) research group website. Our research group is part of the Earth Science and Engineering Program at KAUST. 

We focus on seismic applications from exploration to global scales.  Our work encompasses both algorithmic enhancements as well as developments on emerging hardware architectures for high-performance computing (HPC) applications.
