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.
