2015 Spring Distinguish Lecture
By Ken Irok Sendal, Foundation 3rd , EE

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.
