Vitaliy Ogarko is a research fellow and applied mathematician with a PhD degree in Computational Physics. His research interests include the design and development of high-performance computational algorithms specifically for geophysical inversion and computational geology. He is the lead developer of the Tomofast-x software framework, a powerful 3D parallel inversion platform tailored for single-domain joint inversions of gravity and gradiometry data, including multi-component magnetic remanent magnetization vector inversions. Tomofast-x incorporates petrophysical and structural constraints to achieve geologically realistic inversion outcomes, optimizing shared distributed memory systems for scaling from desktop machines to supercomputers. The platform includes features such as parallel wavelet compression and sensitivity kernels, which reduce memory usage and improve performance in complex surface topography scenarios. In 2021, he joined the Centre for Exploration Targeting to work on the MinEx project aimed at recovering stratigraphic data from drillhole databases, developing open-source algorithms to automate the extraction of lithological and stratigraphic information with associated uncertainty quantification.
