Biography/ Background
Ernest Swierczek is a PhD candidate at the Australian School of Petroleum (ASP), University of Adelaide. Ernest obtained a Master of Petroleum Geology degree from the AGH University of Science and Technology, in Krakow, in 2006, where he studied the petroleum prospectivity of the Skole Nappe in the Polish Eastern Carpathian Foredeep Basin. Before he started his research project at the ASP, Ernest worked as project geologist for Archimedes Consulting in Adelaide (2007–2010). Ernest’s PhD research interests are in seismic interpretation, 3D structural modelling of inversion structures, fault mechanics, and petroleum geomechanics.
Member: AAPG, ASEG, PESA, AGU and EAGE.
