Simge Ayfer

Simge is an experienced Geophysicist with a background in Geophysical Engineering and Project Management, passionate about geoscientific software innovation and digital transformation in the exploration industry. She has worked across the ground, borehole, and airborne geophysical surveys, specializing in data integration, workflow automation, and exploration target generation. Her expertise includes quantitative analysis, reservoir geophysics, and 2D/3D seismic data processing, with a focus on forward modeling, inversion, AVO/AVAz analysis, and marine seismic research. Beyond her technical skills, Simge is a problem-solver who thrives in collaborative, fast-paced environments. She enjoys tackling complex challenges and continuously expanding her expertise, particularly in reservoir modeling and monitoring. Adaptable and always eager to learn, she brings a fresh, innovative approach to every project. She also has experience reviewing and compiling historical geophysical data, helping teams make more informed and strategic exploration decisions.
