Noel Moreno Lemus

Responsible for building advanced analytic (ML/AI/Optimization) algorithms within a Data Science program and working with Business Partners and Friends of Data Science to insert algorithms into business processes and activate them directly with the business.

Research Proposal: Computational modeling and simulation of epidemic infectious diseases

• Conducted independent research and development to attain short and long-term objectives.
• Wrote and published peer-reviewed articles concerning findings and highlighted possible applications for findings.
• Contributed to and actively participated in research conception, design and execution to address defined problems.
• Collaborated with multidisciplinary team members to accomplish the research goals of the project.
• Leveraged interpersonal and communication skills to mentor PhD, graduate and undergraduate students.

Research Project: Visualization and Analysis for Seismic Interpretation

• Automatically identifying possible faults in large seismic datasets
• An exemplary method comprises obtaining the seismic data; calculating a coherence cube of the seismic data; performing the following steps for a plurality of two-dimensional seismic sections of the coherence cube: (i) applying a threshold to the coherence cube to obtain a binary image representation comprising continuities; (ii) identifying edges of continuity areas in the binary image representation to identify changes in the continuities as fault point candidates; (iii) identifying fault points in the obtained seismic data based on a fault confidence value indicating a likelihood that a given point is part of a fault; (iv) creating one or more fault segments from the identified fault points; and (v) joining fault segments into fault lines using geological and/or geometrical constraints; and generating three-dimensional fault surfaces from the fault lines in the plurality of two-dimensional seismic sections
• The exemplary automatic fault detection method can be parallelized.
