Welcome to my website! I’m Feiyue Xia, a passionate Ph.D. student in petroleum engineering at University of Texas at Austin, since August 2022. Under the guidance of Professor Carlos Torres-Verdín, I’m diving deep into the world of formation evaluation. My academic journey began with a Master’s degree in Borehole Geophysics at the China University of Petroleum (East China), where I collaborated closely with the Professor Xiao-Ming Tang. Prior to that, I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Exploration Technology and Engineering from the same institution, fostering a solid foundation for my future endeavors.

I’m particularly captivated by borehole geophysics and rock physics. I am proficient in 3D and 2.5D FDTD elastic wave modeling across complex media, including elastic media, poro-elastic media, and cracked porous elastic media. At present, my focus revolves around applications of the eikonal-based solver in borehole acoustic measurements and invert pore shapes using rock physics models.

I visited universities in Italy and Russia as an exchange student in 2015 and 2016. I participated in the IPTC Educational Week in 2019. These experiences helped me find my passion for my career life. I received the SPWLA Scholarship in 2019. Additionally, I was honored to be granted the UT Engineering School Fellowship from 2022 to 2026..
