	abstract = {This thesis investigates the intersection of machine learning-based generative models with physics-based methods to address imaging problems, with an emphasis on accelerat- ing computations while incorporating uncertainty quantification. Throughout the chapters, a key conclusion emerges: machine learning methods, though powerful, are insufficient when used in isolation. They must be combined with the trusted domain knowledge con- tained in numerical physics simulations to achieve robust results. The methods presented bridge two of the most impactful areas in modern computer science: numerical simula- tions methods rooted in linear algebra and the transformative potential of deep learning, particularly as exemplified by recent advancements in generative modeling. The focus of this work is on scenarios where the underlying physics is computation- ally expensive, requiring frugal use of simulations. This is particularly relevant in high- dimensional, ill-posed inverse problems, such as those encountered in the applications shown in this thesis: medical imaging and seismic exploration, where the forward oper- ator is governed by complex partial differential equations (PDEs). To address these challenges, this thesis introduces techniques that blend practical ma- chine learning approaches with theoretical insights, particularly through the use of physics- based summary statistics. These statistics enable efficient extraction of meaningful in- formation from physics simulations, reducing computational overhead while preserving the critical elements of the physical model. Theoretical foundations underpin the design choices, ensuring that the methods are both efficient and ameliorate the potential bias that would arise from using physics-based summary statistics instead of raw observations. As an engineering-focused work, the thesis places a strong emphasis on practicality and robustness. The proposed methods are stress-tested through validation experiments, on increasingly complex scenarios with a clear pathway toward deployment in the real-world. This applied perspective reflects the ultimate goal of leveraging these methods to create tangible, impactful changes in domains such as healthcare and geophysics. By bridging the gap between advanced machine learning and trusted physics-based methods, this work contributes to the development of innovative tools that balance computational efficiency, uncertainty quantification, and practical applicability.},

	abstract = {We present the Seismic Laboratory for Imaging and Modeling/Monitoring (SLIM) open-source software framework for computational geophysics and, more generally, inverse problems involving the wave-equation (e.g., seismic and medical ultrasound), regularization with learned priors, and learned neural surrogates for multiphase flow simulations. By integrating multiple layers of abstraction, our software is designed to be both readable and scalable. This allows researchers to easily formulate their problems in an abstract fashion while exploiting the latest developments in high-performance computing. We illustrate and demonstrate our design principles and their benefits by means of building a scalable prototype for permeability inversion from time-lapse crosswell seismic data, which aside from coupling of wave physics and multiphase flow, involves machine learning.},

	abstract = {Time-lapse seismic monitoring of CO2 sequestration is computationally expensive as it involves modeling of both fluid-flow physics and wave physics. It also requires differentiation through the solvers with respect to properties of interest in the subsurface. In this talk, we present a learned end-to-end inversion framework, which uses a pre-trained Fourier neural operator as a learned surrogate for the fluid-flow simulator in order to greatly reduces the cost associated with fluid-flow modeling and differentiation through the solver. Through synthetic experiments, we demonstrate the efficacy of this framework on inverting the subsurface permeability of the reservoir and on monitoring CO2 plumes. We further quantify the uncertainty of the permeability and CO2 plumes with conditional normalizing flow. With this framework, we can also forecast the growth of CO2 plumes in the future with uncertainty estimation without any acquired seismic data.},

	title = {Monitoring with sequential Bayesian inference},
	year = {2022},
	month = {11},
	abstract = {For this study, we apply sequential Bayesian inference to monitor the time evolution of subsurface flow of CO2 from indirect acoustic measurements at the surface. Upon receiving new acoustic measurements, we infer the current state of the CO2 by sampling from a learned posterior. Using the incoming data, we then perform online updates of the current posterior. This is accomplished by using the fluid flow model to advance the estimated state variable forward in time in order to update the learned posterior. With a synthetic experiment, we demonstrate this method can track the flow evolution accurately as measured by PSNR metrics. Since the posterior is a learned network, we can compute estimates faster than traditional least squares methods. This method can also quantify the uncertainty due to stochasticity in fluid flow model and the limited-azimuth imaging configuration.},
