Shishi (Chris) Chen

 

Shishi (Chris) Chen completed BSc and MSc in Geology at Chengdu University of Technology in China. He started a PhD program at UOttawa in September, 2013 and completed in the fall of 2017.

 

He was very productive with numerous presentations at conferences and written papers in refereed publications. He received the second prize for his oral presentation at SEG2017 meeting.

 

Shortly after his PhD defense, he started to work as a Data Scientist in Data Analysis Group of Anglo American based in London (UK).
