Jimmy M.

I completed my Ph.D. at the University of Jerusalem, supported by a Marie Curie fellowship, where I employed 3D seismic imaging and borehole data to analyze salt tectonics, geodynamics, and geomorphology related to layered evaporitic sequences. This research, recently published in Geology among other high impact journals, focused on reconstructing paleoenvironmental conditions and assessing subsurface dynamics in relation to structural deformation.

Following my doctorate, I joined the University of Oxford as a researcher, where I worked on subsurface carbon storage projects in the Southern North Sea. This role involved seismic stratigraphic analysis, tectonic reconstruction, and geomorphological mapping to evaluate fluid flow and rock deformation. I contributed to multiple publications, including a study in Global and Planetary Change on early evaporitic buildups and another (with Chris Jackson, currently in review in Geology) examining dissolution-induced collapse structures. Additionally, I supervised M.Sc. and Ph.D. students on projects integrating structural geology, geophysics, and petrophysical data assessments, emphasizing seismic interpretation for resource evaluation and geohazard assessment.

Currently, I serve as Vice President at a natural hydrogen exploration company in Paris, leading a research team that integrates geophysical datasets with machine learning to refine subsurface hydrogen detection. This position has strengthened my ability to synthesize complex datasets and apply innovative computational methods.
