Profile

Mr. Bachu Metramulu is an experienced geophysicist with over 30 years of expertise in geophysical exploration and data analysis. Throughout my career, I have conducted numerous geophysical surveys and employed various methods such as seismic reflection, gravity, and electrical resistivity tomography to collect and analyze data. My work primarily focused on mapping subsurface structures, identifying mineral resources, and evaluating lithological features in different study areas. I hold a Master’s degree in Applied Geophysics from the Indian School of Mines, where I gained in-depth knowledge of seismic exploration, gravity and magnetic methods, electrical and electromagnetic methods, well logging, and geological applications of geophysics. With a strong foundation in physics, mathematics, and chemistry from my Bachelor’s degree, I have honed my skills in geophysical surveys, data processing, interpretation, and the utilization of geophysical software. 

 

I have Teaching and Guiding experience in Mineral Exploration (Coal, Lignite, Chromite, Lead, Zinc, Copper, Gold, Iron Graphite, Manganese & Ground water). Extensive experience with geophysical techniques such as Gravity, Magnetic, Well logging, Electrical & EM, Ground IP, SMART EM, Seismic refraction, Advanced GPRplus Technology and geological interpretation. Worked as a Tech.Lead/DBA manager for DBA projects of GE HealthCare. Mentor for Students, Research Scholars, Geophysicists & DBAs. Expert knowledge in Geosoft, Res2Dinv, Well cad, View log, Maxwell & Model Vision, Krot software for GPR data interpretation, project management and geophysical data management. I am Project Management Professional (PMP) (Accredited by Project Management Institute (PMI), (USA) Certified Since August 2011.

 

In addition to my technical skills, I have actively contributed to the field through publications and memberships in professional organizations. I have authored papers such as “Application of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) for Mineral Exploration” in the Journal of Geophysical Research and “Integrated Geophysical Investigations for Structural Mapping in Singareni Coal Fields A.P” in the Proceedings of the International Conference on Applied Geophysics. 

My memberships in the Society of Exploration Geophysicists, Association of Applied Geophysicists, and Geological Society of India demonstrate my commitment to staying updated with the latest advancements in the field. Fluency in English, Hindi, and Telugu enables effective communication and collaboration with diverse teams and stakeholders. Overall, my expertise, educational background, and contributions make me a valuable asset in geophysical exploration, resource estimation, geological studies, and environmental assessments.
