DESCRIPTION:Once\, a professor of mine teased me asking: “Are you an eng
 ineered mathematician or mathematical engineer?”.  In order to remove th
 e ambiguity\, after receiving my degree\, I decided to go to industry with
  the hope to solve problems by understanding the theoretical aspects with 
 mathematics and address the practical challenges by engineering. For a dec
 ade\, I have been privileged to do this in a company which was founded on 
 the basis that “science is a great benefactor for the individual and for
  humanity”. The founders were a physicist and an engineer\, brothers\, w
 ho valued the impact of science and education in developing their business
 \, and conversely business and its role in supporting research and educati
 on. In this talk I aim to honor these values. After an introduction of oil
  field services business of Schlumberger\, I will present a potpourri of r
 esearch projects in seismic exploration I worked on which aimed to underst
 and and model the underlying physics of the problem for inversion in an ef
 ficient computational scheme. I will conclude my presentation with current
  problems we are investigating in sampling of wave fields for their contin
 uous representations.
