About Me

I am Tushar Gautam, a graduate of the Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, India, with a master's degree in Geophysics and a love for computers. I'm currently at the University of Utah and pursuing PhD in Scientific Machine Learning.

At the University of Utah, 2021-present

  • Pursuing PhD in Computing (Scientific Computing).
  • Research Assistant at Scientific Computing and Imaging Institute.
  • Applying Machine Learning methods to problems in Fracture Mechanics.
  • Understanding and explaining Machine Learning methods from an engineer/mathematician's point of view.
  • Exploring the concept of data-driven physics-based Digital Twin.

At KAUST, 2020-2021

A successful academic-cum-research run at IIT Roorkee culminated in a rewarding opportunity as I got the offer to join the Visiting Student Programme (virtual due to pandemic) at KAUST.

  • I worked on Tomographic Deconvolution using Deep Neural Networks.
  • I was a TA for the Machine Learning course, ErSE 290: Machine Learning Methods in Geosciences.

At Optic Earth, 2019-2020

  • In my final year at IIT Roorkee, I also worked with a U.K.-based Start-up company named Optic Earth.
  • While there, I worked on building an AI-powered Subsurface Imaging Software stack for Norway-based Neptune Energy.

At IIT Roorkee, 2015-2020

  • For my Masters’ Thesis, I worked on Seismic Velocity Modeling using Deep Convolutional Neural Networks.
  • I used Finite Difference Modeling to generate large amounts of synthetic seismic data for training the Machine Learning Algorithm.
  • The trained algorithm then predicted subsurface velocity models using raw seismic traces.
