ABOUT ERKAN AY
Accomplished geophysicist with 18+ years of international experience spanning oil and gas, carbon capture and storage (CCUS), and academic research. Proven track record in delivering high-resolution velocity models, quantitative interpretation, and subsurface insights that support exploration, field development, and energy transition projects. Recognized innovator in microseismic monitoring, distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) 4D VSP, and seismic-while-drilling. Experienced leader of multidisciplinary teams with an active record of service and leadership in SEG and other professional societies.At the core of my work is a commitment to integrating seismology and petrophysics to characterize complex subsurface structures. This approach ensures both the economic viability and the safety of drilling and production operations.Currently, as Chair of the SEG Research Committee and Vice Chair of the SEG IMAGE 2026 Technical Committee, I guide collaborative initiatives that advance geophysical applications for sustainable energy solutions. These roles reflect both my commitment to responsible energy practices and my ability to lead cross-disciplinary research teams in developing innovative approaches to reduce environmental impacts while meeting global energy needs.
