Dr. Ardiansyah Ibnu Koeshidayatullah

Associate Professor, Department of Geosciences

Dr. Ardiansyah Koeshidayatullah is an Associate Professor in the Geosciences Department, College of Petroleum Engineering and Geosciences (CPG), KFUPM. He leads the PREDICT group and his primary research interests focus on (i) Integrated and Quantitative Carbonate Reservoir Characterization and (ii) Artificial Intelligence in Geosciences. He was a Presidential Doctoral Scholar at the University of Manchester, UK and a visiting research student at the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences, University of Miami, USA. Before joining KFUPM, he was a postdoctoral research fellow at Stanford University, USA from 2019 to 2021. He is currently serving as the Associate Editor for Sedimentology and Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation.
