Sami Khomsi:
King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah Saudi Arabia and CERTE, University of Carthage, Tunis, Tunisia.
Sami Khomsi is a structural-petroleum geologist. He got his Ph.D. at Tunis University in 2004 and his H.D.R. (Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches) in the same university in 2015. Since 2011, he works in the Department of Petroleum Geology and Sedimentology and in the Geoexploration department in the faculty of Earth Sciences, King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. He worked also in different universities in Tunisia and France. Past employment within academia (research and teaching) and industry in the exploration activities: he involved in many international programs, regional exploration assets, regional synthesizes, sites survey, prospects evaluation, and professional expert training (field trip leader for professionals, coaching of geoscientists, etc.) in basin analysis involving basin modeling, structural analysis, and balanced cross sections. Sami collaborated with major oil companies in Eastern Maghreb on field studies, structural analysis of fold-thrust structures, subsurface reservoir characterizations, and seismic interpretations. He has also experience in geophysical methods involving fast processing and interpretation of seismic reflection sections in terms of structural geology-nvestigation-evaluation of plays, characterization of fractured reservoirs, and subsurface mapping.

Mehdi Eshagh:
University West, Sweden
Mehdi Eshagh, 1977, born in Tehran, Iran, completed his M.Sc. degree in Geodesy from KNToosi University of Technology in Iran and Ph.D. in Geodesy at Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) under supervision of Professor Lars E. Sjöberg in 2009. He became docent (habilitation) in Physical Geodesy and Space Geodesy at KTH and worked there as a senior research until 2016 and since September 2013 as a professor of Geodesy at University West in the western part of Sweden. He have about 22 years of activities in teaching diversity of courses in Surveying Engineering and Geodesy, research, and supervision of students at all levels of educations. He is an author of 120 articles in peer-reviewed international journals and the book "Satellite Gravimetry and the Solid Earth, mathematical foundations", published by Elsevier in 2020; the founder of Journal of Geodetic Science in 2010; and its editor-in-chief since 2018. He is interested in collaboration in teaching and research internationally, e.g., an affiliated professor at the Ethiopian Space Science and Technology Institute, and an adjunct professor at
