Technical Personnel

Dr. Irena Kivior
Managing Director and Principal Geophysicist (Eng./M.Sc. Geology, Ph.D. Geophysics)
Dr. Kivior obtained a Eng./M.Sc. degree from the Academy of Mines and Metallurgy in Krakow, Poland. Since 1990 Dr. Kivior has worked in various capacities at the University of Adelaide, Australia completing a Ph.D. in geophysics (1996), post-doctorate research work (1998) and an appointment as a visiting research fellow of the National Centre of Petroleum Geology and Geophysics. Extensive research conducted over the period focuses on sedimentary basins and deep crystal studies using high-resolution aeromagnetic data. In 1997 Dr. Kivior established a geophysical firm, Archimedes Consulting Pty Ltd to provide geophysical services for the petroleum and mineral exploration industries.

Professor David Boyd
Advisor (Emeritus Professor of Geophysics, University of Adelaide)
Prof. Boyd was for 15 years chief geophysicist for Hunting Geophysics in London. From 1969 until 1991 he was Professor of Geophysics at the University of Adelaide. He has been involved in hydro-carbon exploration in Europe, Africa, Southern Asia and Australia for more than 50 years. His main contribution has been in the use of airborne magnetic surveys in regional studies. During the last decade his principal interest has been in the use of high-quality aeromagnetic survey data to deter-mine structure from magnetic sequences within the prospective sedimentary section.

Mr. Stephen Markham
Chief Geophysicist (B.Sc., Hons., M.Sc. Geophysics)
Mr. Markham graduated from the Flinders University, Australia and completed a Masters Degree in Geophysics in 1997. At the University of Adelaide he conducted extensive research work on the application of high-resolution magnetic data over the Otway Basin in the South Australia. Since 1997 he has worked for Archimedes as a Senior Geophysicist mainly involved in special processing and analysis of the high-resolution aeromagnetic & gravity data.

Dr. Francis Vaughan
Senior R&D Scientist (B.Sc., Ph.D. Comp. Sci.)
Dr. Vaughan obtained his Ph.D. in Computer Science n 1996 for the University of Adelaide. He has an extensive background in high performance computing and in University Level Teaching and Research. Dr. Vaughan provides expertise to Archimedes operations and to the Archimedes Research & Development Group. He is involved in the study of the application of spectral analysis techniques, high performance aspects of computer processing, visualization and signals processing.

Dr. Sam Yates
Chief R&D Scientist (B.Sc., M.Sc. Mathematics, Ph.D. Mathematics)
Dr. Yates heads the Archimedes Research & Development Group. He is extensively involved in the study of the application of spectra analysis techniques to varying geological environment. His group has led the geophysical and geological software development.
