Biography of Andrey Bakulin (Андрей Бакулин)
Andrey Bakulin (Андрей Бакулин) is a geophysicist
who does not believe in boundaries. If there is good
science and a promising practical application, then it is geophysics and it
is for him. He enjoys the full spectrum: theory, modeling, field
experimentation, and real-world implementation, and actively brings them
together by connecting industry and academia. Andrey is currently a
Research Professor at the Bureau of Economic Geology, University of Texas at
Austin, and Co-PI of the Texas Consortium for Computational Seismology
(TCCS), where he focuses on seismic acquisition, wavefield analysis, and
distributed sensing, including DAS and emerging monitoring technologies. His path combines academic
roots (St. Petersburg State University, Colorado School of Mines) with
industry experience at Schlumberger, Shell, and Saudi Aramco. His work spans
land seismic monitoring, nonlinear beamforming, DAS-based imaging, and
reservoir characterization. He contributed to the Virtual Source Method,
advanced the use of tube waves for monitoring, and developed links between
stress, anisotropy, and seismic response. Today, his focus is on
variable-density acquisition, data-driven diagnostics, and reinventing DAS
beyond boreholes, on land and seabed, to turn seismic into answers people
need, at the fidelity that matters. Updated: 2026 |
