I am an Italian geophysicist currently employed in “Fugro Italy”, Rome, Italy, with 17 years of experience in various areas of geophysical data processing and 7 year as Manager of Seismic processing Department. My main duties were processing of geophysical data for subsurface imaging for engineering and oil&gas clients. I am looking for new challenging career opportunities and I would like to apply as Data Scientist

In Jan-May 2020 I have attended a course with Geeks Academy about Elastic Search and MongoDB, Python (Machine Learning ) and Data Science analysis. At the present I am practicing Hadoop, Sparks and Cloudera platform for Geospatial applications.

I have been working as Processing Coordinator in Fugro Italy , Rome since July 2012. Main task is the Seismic data processing, on board and in office. My duty is also to managing , planning and supervising the people and the project onshore and offshore as follow:

• I actively support estimating, planning, mobilization, execution and successful closure of projects with Clients in Europe, Middle East, Africa and others. Key aspect of my duties was to develop, implement, and maintain a detailed project work plan .

• Manage the team assigned to the project and to balance scope, schedule, budget, quality, and risks.

• Taking care of deadlines and deliverables and keep all involved stakeholders on schedule is imperative for my role

• Performe in depth research and assess new innovations and strategy.

• Participate and lead project meetings.

• Maintain relationship with clients and project stakeholders.

In Fugro Oceansismica, from 2008 up to 2014 I was also an onboard processor for offshore surveys I worked for several major clients like Exxon, BP, BG, Total, Shell, among others

From Mar 2005 to Mar 2007 I worked at Department of Earth Sciences in Cambridge (UK) as research fellow and I’ve already worked at Department of Earth Sciences in Birmingham (2003-2005) as research fellow in a project for processing different kind of geophysical data .

I obtained a B.Sc. with honour in Geology in 1997 and Ph.D. in Geophysics in Italy at “Federico II” University in Naples in 2003. The Ph.D project carried out a combined seismic inversion methods applied to volcanic soils

Experience includes seismic processing and field acquisition and good skill in software development in UNIX environment (C and Unix shell script) and several scientific algorithms from signal data processing to inversion of scientific dataset
