Research Collaboration between KFUPM & Georgia Tech Research Corporation (GTRC)
Vision:
KFUPM to be the Hub of Seismic Signal Processing
Mission:
- To advance the theory of signal processing with the focus on geo signals and seismic data.
- To develop best education practices in engineering.
Objectives:
- Develop advanced seismic signal processing algorithms that generate efficient industry standard techniques in the exploration process.
- Produce a generation of experts in this field to lead in both academia and industry.
- Produce significant products in international magazines, journals, and technical meetings.
- Develop engineering education by developing new courses/labs whole education experience.
Strategic Plan:
- Research and Innovation
- Capacity Building
- Academic Bridge
- Visibility and Impact
Research Activities:
- Research projects
- Education projects
- Exchange visits for faculty, researchers, and graduate students
- Two annual workshops
- Industry participation

Activities So Far:
- A Research workshop (June 21 -22, 2010), decided to focus collaboration on the main topic: Geo-Signal Processing and Analysis
- A number of undergraduate students spent one semester at GIT as part of Study Abroad Program (Falls of 2010, 2011, 2012, and 2013)
- Many exchange of Visits between GIT and KFUPM officials
- Formation of an Executive committee at KFUPM and GIT
- Signing of the official agreement in August 4, 2012.
- Two official workshops were held: one at KFUPM in December 2012 and the other one at GIT in June 2013.
- Two projects are starting: one educational project and research project.
- Many projects are in the pipeline.
- Working on the outreach programs.
