Dr. Ayman Al-Lehyani
Assistant Professor, Department of Geosciences
Dr. Ayman Al-Lehyani earned his Bachelor of Science in Geophysics from KFUPM in 2002 and joined Schlumberger as a geoscientist/petrophysicist, where he contributed to significant projects for Saudi Aramco and Kuwait Oil Company. In 2005, he moved to the Schlumberger Dhahran Carbonate Research Center in Dhahran as a researcher. He joined KFUPM in 2010 as a lecturer, where he contributed to teaching, research, and community services, including developing new academic programs within the Geosciences department. Currently, Ayman is an assistant professor in the Geosciences department. His research interests include seismic noise reduction, first-arrival picking enhancement, rock physics, and seismic modeling. As an educator, Ayman is dedicated to teaching a diverse range of undergraduate courses and is actively involved in community service through various committees, boards, and other volunteering activities.
