Dr Abdul Halim is currently leading the Centre for Subsurface Imaging  (CSI),  an  oil  and  gas industry-oriented research centre  in Universiti Teknologi  PETRONAS  (UTP). He obtained his, MSc and Doctorate from Imperial College, UTP and Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) respectively with special interest in seismic  technology and deep-earth seismology. His main area of expertise is in seismic processing and imaging, both for active and passive seismic (including earthquake seismology). With several years as an industry practitioner with CGG Malaysia as well as researcher and academician with UTP, Halim is on a mission to spread the knowledge in geosciences and nurturing more earth scientist for a sustainable and better future.

Dr Abdul Hadi is currently working as Basin Study Technical Advisor in MPM, PETRONAS. He has previously served UTP as an Associate Professor in Geoscience Department at Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS. Dr Abdul Hadi has thirty (30) years of experience in university work in teaching and training physical geology, petroleum geology, sedimentology, stratigraphy (and sequence stratigraphy), field sedimentary geology, well log analysis and petrographic analysis of clastic  sedimentary rocks. He also has more than twenty (20) years O&G industry experience  in  research  and  consultation  work on  siliciclastic sedimentology and facies analysis, well log analysis, thin section and SEM microscopic study, and regional geological studies.

Dr Nordin Zakaria is a senior lecturer with the Computer and Information Science Department, Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP) Malaysia. He has been with UTP for more than 10 years. Prior to that, he was a researcher in Max-Planck-Institut fur Informatik,Germany, and a lecturer in Universiti Putra Malaysia. Dr Nordin Zakaria earned his PhD in Computer Science from Universiti Sains Malaysia, working in the area of Computer gaphics. His interest over the years has been diverse, ranging from user interface design to computational engineering. The main theme in his research has however been always metaheuristics methods, especially genetic algorithm, dealing with various computational problems in various domains.

7. Dr Lukman (UTP)

Dr Lukman is currently working as a Senior Lecture in Computer and Information Science department, Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS. He completed his PhD at Lancaster University. His current research interest is in formal serification, software and system modelling, and software architecture. Currently, his research is foc using in particular with adopting model-driven engineering  and  formal  verification  in cloud  computing.  Some of the projects he is working on right now are using architecture-driven modernization and model-driven engineering in deploying engineering simulation software as a cloud service, formal verification of cloud security mechanism using model checking, domain specific modelling languages for educational games. Apart from these projects, he is also involved in research projects related to system engineering and Big Data.
