He utilises a multi-disciplinary approach to practical exploration geophysics problems, which combines advanced analytical models, computer simulations and statistical analysis of real data. Such an approach allowed Stas to establish accuracy limits of the time-lapse seismic and proposed new approaches to cost-effective reservoir monitoring for CO2 storage, a very topical problem in geophysics.Stas has also strived to serve his professional community. He has been an active and enthusiastic member of organizing committees at ASEG, EAGE and SEG annual meetings, helping in organising scientific workshops. Whilst at Curtin University, he actively supported the local ASEG WA Branch and encouraged his students to participate in the Honours/Masters projects competition run by the branch. He served on the technical committee for AEGC 2019 in Perth where he was responsible for the seismic reservoir characterisation stream. At the same conference, he co-organised a pre-convention workshop on opportunities and applications for machine learning in exploration geophysics.He is now a member of the SEG Advanced Modelling group (SEAM), where he is responsible for rock physics modelling related Lesley Wyborn to geological storage of CO 2 .
