Whitney Trainor-Guitton is a quantitative geoscientist with a demonstrated history of working in the subsurface and remote-sensing research and development and higher education. Trainor-Guitton is experienced in blending data science, spatial statistics and geophysical inversion, and specializes in geostatistics, geophysics, geothermal exploration, carbon dioxide sequestration monitoring, inverse problems, and deep learning. She earned her doctorate focused on earth, energy and environmental sciences from Stanford University. She has also served as a staff scientist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and assistant professor at the Colorado School of Mines doing research and development in statistical learning applied to distributed acoustic sensing, angle versus offset seismic data and screen out pressure data. Currently, Trainor-Guitton is advancing play fairways analysis for discovery of hidden geothermal systems, using value of information and spatial statistics.
