Mexico City, Mexico – March 3, 2025 – Ikon Science is proud to announce a new academic partnership with the Escuela Superior de Ingeniería y Arquitectura (ESIA) Ticomán campus of the Instituto Politécnico Nacional (IPN), one of Mexico’s leading institutions for Earth sciences education. This collaboration marks a significant step in strengthening geophysical research and education in Mexico by providing access to RokDoc academic licenses, which will be utilized in ESIA Ticomán-IPN’s seismic processing and geosciences center to enhance research, postgraduate studies, and undergraduate thesis projects.
As a premier technical university, IPN plays a critical role in training Mexico’s next generation of geologists, geophysical engineers, and petroleum engineers. The university maintains a strong and long-standing partnership with Pemex, Mexico’s state-owned petroleum company, supplying highly skilled professionals to the energy sector. By integrating RokDoc into its curriculum, ESIA Ticomán-IPN students and researchers will gain hands-on experience with advanced subsurface data analysis tools, reinforcing their expertise in geophysical interpretation, reservoir characterization, and seismic imaging.
“The integration of RokDoc into our Data Processing Room will support cutting-edge research and improve the technical skills of our students,” said Miguel Gómez, seismic imaging lecturer and processing expert at ESIA Ticomán-IPN. “We are excited to leverage this technology to advance academic and industry-ready geoscience applications.”
Beyond research and coursework, this initiative will also facilitate collaboration between students and industry professionals, bridging the gap between academia and the energy sector. With access to cutting-edge tools like RokDoc, students will be better prepared to tackle real-world challenges in hydrocarbon exploration, carbon storage, and subsurface modeling.
Ikon Science remains committed to supporting academic institutions worldwide by providing RokDoc academic licenses, fostering innovation, and preparing future industry leaders through practical experience with leading geoscience software.
A special thanks to our Regional Sales Manager, Jorge Aranguren, for his initiative and support in getting this project started.
