	year = {2024},
	note = {(PhD)},
	month = {12},
	school = {Georgia Institute of Technology},
	type = {phd},
	address = {Atlanta},
	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.},

	year = {2024},
	month = {11},
	abstract = {Seismic denoising is essential for enhancing the clarity, accuracy, and reliability of seismic data. Traditional seismic denoising methods, while effective for specific types of noise, often rely on well-established mathematical techniques that can be time-consuming, require manual tuning, and struggle with more complex noise patterns. Leveraging the 500 paired synthetic seismic datasets provided by the Think Onward community, we incorporate a 3D U-Net deep learning model with residual blocks and spatial attention to capture both local and global features for the seismic denoising task. During training, we apply the Laplacian operator to preserve edge details, followed by the Structural Similarity Index Measure (SSIM) loss to fine-tune the model, effectively removing concurrent noise and recovering the original seismic information. The resulting individual model achieves an SSIM of 0.99 compared to the ground truth seismic data. Additionally, we implement Langevin dynamics and Equivariant Bootstrapping techniques to estimate uncertainty during the training and inference phases, further improving the robustness of the denoising process.},

Because these samples are conditioned on observed time-lapse field data, these twins are capable of capturing the dynamics of CO2 plumes and their uncertainty.},

	month = {10},
	abstract = {As the global deployment of carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) technology intensifies in the fight against climate change, it becomes increasingly imperative to establish robust monitoring and detection mechanisms for potential underground CO$_2$ leakage, particularly through pre-existing or induced faults in the storage reservoir{\textquoteright}s seals. While techniques such as history matching and time-lapse seismic monitoring of CO$_2$ storage have been used successfully in tracking the evolution of CO$_2$ plumes in the subsurface, these methods lack principled approaches to characterize uncertainties related to the CO$_2$ plumes{\textquoteright} behavior. Inclusion of systematic assessment of uncertainties is essential for risk mitigation for the following reasons: (i) CO$_2$ plume-induced changes are small and seismic data is noisy; (ii) changes between regular and irregular (e.g., caused by leakage) flow patterns are small; and (iii) the reservoir properties that control the flow are strongly heterogeneous and typically only available as distributions. To arrive at a formulation capable of inferring flow patterns for regular and irregular flow from well and seismic data, the performance of conditional normalizing flow will be analyzed on a series of carefully designed numerical experiments. While the inferences presented are preliminary in the context of an early CO$_2$ leakage detection system, the results do indicate that inferences with conditional normalizing flows can produce high-fidelity estimates for CO$_2$ plumes with or without leakage. We are also confident that the inferred uncertainty is reasonable because it correlates well with the observed errors. This uncertainty stems from noise in the seismic data and from the lack of precise knowledge of the reservoir{\textquoteright}s fluid flow properties.},

	abstract = {Reservoir engineers frequently employ two-phase flow simulations and history-matching to oversee and anticipate the behavior of CO2 plumes within geological carbon storage. These simulations, while valuable for gaining insights, face limitations due to several complex factors, such as uncertainties surrounding the plume{\textquoteright}s dynamics. To investigate this phenomenon more comprehensively, we introduce the concept of stochasticity in the dynamics, accounting for uncertainties in the underlying permeability of the reservoir. To enhance the accuracy of CO2 plume predictions and quantify the uncertainties involved, we utilize machine learning techniques to condition these predictions on time-lapse seismic and well observations. This framework works on the principle of sequential Bayesian inference that continuously assimilates information from time-lapse observations, updates the CO2 plume predictions, and characterizes uncertainties about the plumes.},

	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.},
