Professor of Seismic Exploration Department of Geology, Faculty of Science, Al-Azhar University, Cairo, Egypt Dr. Mohamed Fathi is a Professor of Seismic Exploration at Al-Azhar University’s Department of Geology (Cairo, Egypt), a position he has held since 2021. With over 19 years of academic experience, he previously served as Assistant Professor (2016–2021), Lecturer (2011–2016), and Assistant Lecturer (2007–2010) at the same institution. He holds a PhD (2010) and MSc (2007) in Geophysics Exploration from Al-Azhar University, where his doctoral research focused on seismic interpretation and petrophysical analysis of reservoirs in Egypt’s Western Desert. His expertise spans seismic interpretation, reservoir characterization, 3D static modeling, rock physics, and machine learning applications in geophysics. He is proficient in industry-standard software (Petrel, Techlog, Interactive Petrophysics) and has field experience with Schlumberger. Dr. Fathi’s research targets hydrocarbon exploration in key Egyptian basins (Nile Delta, Gulf of Suez, Western Desert). He has authored 60+ publications (including papers in Geological Journal, Petroleum, and Marine and Petroleum Geology) on topics such as: Reservoir modeling using seismic/well-log integration. AI/neural networks for seismic inversion and property prediction. Sequence stratigraphy and source rock evaluation. He teaches courses in seismic exploration, reservoir engineering, and well-log analysis at the Faculty of Pet
