Hojat Shirmard has a PhD from the University of Sydney, has over 15 years of experience in mineral exploration and geophysics, having consulted on 200+ projects across Australia, Iran, Pakistan, Africa, and Fiji. His work spans the processing of geophysical, geological, geochemical, and multi- and hyperspectral imagery data, integrating these datasets to support mineral discovery.
Since graduating from Kiel University, Germany, in 1995 Sebastian has experienced a wide variety of geophysical techniques, ranging from basic ground magnetics for UXO detection to seismic oceanography based on multi-channel marine seismic data
James is a highly accomplished and qualified geophysicist. He provides innovative and effective survey solutions particularly in environmental, groundwater and infrastructure projects. He has led land and marine-based research projects and has expertise in seismic, magnetics, resistivity, pXRF and marine-based acoustic methods. He has a strong background in geological field mapping and expertise in the analysis of sediment samples.
Damian has over 28 years of experience managing international geophysical surveys and works frequently throughout Asia, South America, and the Pacific region. He is one of Fender’s most experienced survey managers and has managed large-scale projects using all main geophysical methods including induced polarisation, electromagnetic, magnetics and gravity.
Doug Hall brings 33 years of field survey and management experience from varying geophysical perspectives. His career experience is international having worked in South Africa, Pakistan, India, China, the Middle East, Papua New Guinea and most of Asia. Doug is a qualified surveyor having graduated from the University of Southern Queensland with an Associate Degree in Spatial Science. His surveying background is important in making sure that data acquisition is done in the right place.
