Seri Iskandar, 6th March
– Society of Exploration Geophysics
UTP Student Chapter (SEG UTP SC)
organized an informative talk, “2015 Spring Distinguished Lecture” which, gave
insights on seismic imaging or in other words, on earthquake detecting in
Seminar Room 6 of the Chancellor Complex.
A very
humble and knowledgeable, Dr Jean Virieux who hails from Institut Des Sciences
De La Terre (Isterre), a public research laboratory located in the campus of
Grenoble in Isère was
invited as the special guest of this talk to give his insights on the subject of
Hierarchical Seismic Imaging: A Multiscale Approach.
The arrival
of the committees and guests started as early as 9 am before the arrival of the
VIP and high committees of the event. The ceremony was honored by the presence
of Dr. Abdul Rashid Bin Abd Aziz (Deputy Vice Chancellor
Research and Innovation),
Professor Dr. Deva Prasad Ghosh (Advisor of SEG UTP SC) and Assc. Professor Wan
Ismail bin Wan Yusoff (Advisor of SEG UTP SC).
Not long
after that, Dr Jean Virieux was invited to the rostrum for his long awaited
distinguished talk. Many informative seismic approaches and detection were
explained to the eager guests. The modules shown by the respected speaker gave
an insight to the guest about the seismic imaging study, which is garnering
more attention in the University as of late. Dr. Jean also stated that the
students in UTP are particularly knowledgeable in geosciences materials as it
is included in their respective courses.
After
that, a token of appreciation was given to the dedicated Dr. Jean on stage. Everyone
present was then invited for a photography session as remembrance for Dr. Jean.
The ceremony soon came to an end after that as refreshments were provided
outside the hall. None of this could have occurred without the dedication of
the committees of SEG UTP SC.
“Don’t be
driven by incomes and do something which requires freedom in thinking”
