Course Summary:
Welcome to Subsurface Machine Learning, a graduate-level course I teach at The University of Texas at Austin. While the course is officially titled “Subsurface Machine Learning” to highlight its focus on applications in subsurface modeling, the material is broadly applicable and designed to equip you with foundational and advanced machine learning skills relevant across diverse fields.

The course begins with core concepts in spatial and subsurface modeling, grounded in geoscience and engineering principles, and builds a solid foundation in probability, statistics, and feature engineering and selection. From there, we explore inferential and predictive machine learning techniques, advancing all the way through to cutting-edge deep learning methods. Throughout the course, I strive to make complex topics accessible, providing a clear pathway to mastering machine learning for real-world challenges and empowering you to confidently navigate and harness the power of the ongoing digital revolution.
