Chengbo Li received the BS degree in mathematics from Nanjing University, Nanjing, China, in 2007 and the PhD degree in computational and applied mathematics from Rice University, Houston, TX in 2011. Li joined ConocoPhillips after completing his PhD as a research geophysicist. His recent work focuses on geophysical applications of compressive sensing; seismic data reconstruction and denoising; optimal survey design; and simultaneous source acquisition for both onshore and offshore. He also led the efforts in developing machine learning solutions for seismic processing and fiber optic sensing for well monitoring. Li’s research led to the invention of ConocoPhillips’ proprietary technology — Compressive Seismic Imaging (CSI). The technology received the SPIRIT of Performance Award in Innovation in 2016, the SPIRIT of Performance Award in Technology Champion in 2018, and the OTC Asia Spotlight on New Technology Award in 2018. His paper on CSI was selected to receive the award for Best Paper in The Leading Edge in 2017. He also received the SPIRIT of Performance Award in Outstanding Early Career Technologist in 2019 and the SEG Reginald Fessenden Award in 2021. In 2023, Li received the prestigious Edith and Peter O’Donnell Award from Academy of Medicine, Engineering and Science of Texas (TAMEST) as the first recipient ever in the field of exploration geoscience. Li served on the TLE Editorial Board from 2019 to 2023, and is currently a member of the Board of Directors for SEG Advanced Modeling Corporation and the Advisory Committee for SEG China.
