Md Ashraf
Geophysicist
I am an aspiring geophysicist with a strong foundation in applied geophysics, geospatial analysis, and seismic studies. Currently pursuing a Master’s in Applied Geophysics at IIT (ISM), Dhanbad, I am passionate about understanding Earth's dynamic processes through advanced data analysis and innovative research methodologies. With hands-on experience in GPS data processing, petrophysical analysis, and industrial automation, I aim to contribute to geophysical research, focusing on seismic hazards, earth deformation, and climate change impacts. I thrive in collaborative environments, constantly seeking opportunities to learn and grow both professionally and academically.

Projects
To Estimate the Co-seismic Surface Deformation using GPS Measurements
IISc Bangalore
Date: May 2024 - July 2024
- Investigated the 2015 Gorkha earthquake’s impact on crustal deformation and GPS sites velocities using GAMIT/GLOBK.
- Processed GPS data from 26 GNSS and 12 IGS stations over the period of 2010-2016.
- Generated earthquake movement-related time-series plots and evaluated earthquake-induced surface movements and deformation.
- Converted CNX format data to RNX and performed data processing to ensure accuracy and completeness in the analysis.
Petrophysical Case Study of Gorgonichthys-1 Well – IIT (ISM) Dhanbad
IIT (ISM) Dhanbad
Date: March 2024 - April 2024
- Conducted a comprehensive petrophysical case study of the Gorgonichthys-1 well, including sonic tool design, wireline log quality control, outlier detection, porosity estimation, velocity analysis, shale volume, and water saturation estimation, and advanced reservoir characterization.
Desktop Application - GUI of Basic Petrophysics Code
IIT (ISM) Dhanbad
Date: August 2024 - November 2024
Objective: To create a desktop application with a user-friendly interface that allows users to input, process, and visualize basic petrophysical data.
Features:
- User Interface: Simple data input forms for petrophysical parameters (e.g., porosity, permeability, water saturation). Interactive data visualization (Multitrack, histograms, cross-plots) for petrophysical results. Data import/export capabilities (support for common file types like LAS, CSV, XLXS).
- Core Functionality: Basic petrophysical properties calculations (e.g., Archie’s equation, shale volume, effective porosity). Parameter sensitivity analysis (graphical sliders for parameter variation).
- Visualization: Plotting petrophysical logs with depth (track-based visualization). Cross-plots between porosity, resistivity, and other derived parameters.
Technology Stack:
- GUI: PyQt, Tkinter (for standalone applications).
- Backend: Python-based petrophysical calculations modules and Visualization modules.
