Martin Lacasse, PhD
Chief Technology Officer (CTO)
Dr. Martin-Daniel Lacasse is Research Faculty in the Department of Applied Mathematics and Statistics and serves as Associate Director of the Internship Network in the Mathematical Sciences (INMAS), reflecting his passion for mentoring and developing STEM talent.
Before this role, Martin spent more than 25 years at ExxonMobil’s Corporate Strategic Research Laboratory (CSR), working on industrial physical and geophysical problems including emulsion and polymer science, induced seismicity, and full-wavefield inversion (FWI). He is recognized for leading the development and deployment of FWI within the corporation. Toward the end of his CSR career, as a Distinguished Research Associate, he managed leveraging activities related to geological carbon sequestration in ExxonMobil-funded Energy Centers at leading universities and national labs, and advised research programs in the physical and mathematical sciences within ExxonMobil’s fundamental research laboratory.
Lacasse earned a Ph.D. in Physics from McGill University in 1994 and later held a joint industrial postdoctoral fellowship at Princeton University.
Competence Areas: Computational Seismology and Inverse Problems, Induced Seismicity, Energy Systems, Geological Carbon Sequestration, Leveraging, Technology Development and Transfer.
