Technical Advisor
Dr. Sava is an Assistant Professor of Geophysics and a member of the Center for Wave Phenomena at Colorado School of Mines. He holds an Engineering degree in Geophysics (1995) from the University of Bucharest and a M.S. (1998) and a Ph.D. (2004) in Geophysics from Stanford University where he was a member of the Stanford Exploration Project. His main research interests are in wavefield seismic imaging, stochastic imaging and inversion, computational methods for wave propagation, numeric optimization, and high performance computing.See More →
He is the recipient of a Stanford Graduate Fellowship (1997-2000) from Stanford University and a Jackson Young Scientist Fellowship (2006-2007) from the University of Texas at Austin. He is also the recipient of three Awards of Merit for best student presentations at the Annual Meeting of the Society of Exploration Geophysicists in 1999, 2001, and 2004 and of a Honorable Mention in the category of Best Paper in Geophysics in 2003 for “Angle-domain common-image gathers by wavefield continuation methods,” co-authored with Sergey Fomel. The Society of Exploration Geophysicists recognized him in 2007 with the Reginald Fessenden Award for his work on wave-equation angle-domain imaging. ← See Less
