The Directors of the KEGS Foundation are very pleased to announce that Dr.
Pejman Shamsipour of Montreal has been selected as the inaugural recipient of
the recently established Len and Genice Geophysical Research Fellowship. The
fellowship is for a period of six month at the Geological Survey of Canada in
Ottawa, involving effort to develop improved constrained 3D inversion codes for
regional potential field data as a key part of the 'Canada in 3D' project.
Dr. Shamsipour completed his PhD studies at École Polytechnique in Montreal
under Prof. Michel Chouteau focused on improving 3D potential field inversions
using a stochastic approach, and was most recently a research associate
(petrophysics and data scientist) for the Canada-wide CMIC Footprints program.
He earned his MASc in geophysics and geostatistics at École Polytechnique,
where he received the GSC Geophysical Pioneers Scholarship from the Foundation,
after completing his BSc in mining exploration at the University of Tehran.
This fellowship is made possible by the extraordinary legacy gift to the
Foundation by Len and Genice Collett, announced last year during Exploration
'17. Together with the previously announced Collett Graduate Scholarship and
Visiting Lectureship, the fellowship constitutes an important extension of the
Foundation's efforts to foster geophysical education and advances in Canada,
complementing the Foundation's regular scholarship program now in its
nineteenth year.
It is anticipated that Dr. Shamsipour will present at least one public lecture
on his research, likely in Ottawa. Depending on his schedule, he may also
present a talk at a KEGS event or UofT seminar in Toronto.
The Directors also acknowledge with appreciation the applications received from
a number of geophysical researchers and doctoral students for this inaugural
fellowship appointment. We hope to renew the fellowship program in subsequent
years depending on perceived opportunities and indicated needs.
