Steven Wright graduated from UH in 2004 with a B.S. in Geophysics and in 2009 with an M.S. in Geophysics. He has about 14 years of oil and gas experience, mostly working for an Exploration and Production company doing reservoir characterization.

He really enjoyed his years as a geophysicist as the oil and gas industry is composed of many movable puzzle pieces where most need to come together for success. Steven has often said that work for him is coloring (making maps), playing connect the dots (interpreting seismic wiggles), and playing the maze game (picking seismic data from a starting well and trying to get to the end being another well). Having been laid off from the oil and gas industry, he transitioned into working for Harris County in the Flood Control Department as a Contract Manager.

Steven is currently the Treasurer for UHEASAA, where he hopes to use his skills in data analysis, research, software, organization, and his connections to industry and UH Alumni to add value, while making new connections and taking on some fun challenges. Recently, his only child started college, a proud moment for those close to her and Steven.

Dianna Phu graduated from UH in December 2000 with a B.S., double majoring in Geology and Geophysics. She is currently a Senior Geologist at Intecsea. Her primary role is shallow hazards specialist, with experience in subsea geohazard site investigations, regional site characterization studies, qualitative and quantitative geo-risk assessments, integration with geotechnical engineering for ground model development, field development siting, design, and installation support, and permitting. She holds a PG with the State of Texas and a CPG through the AAPG’s DPA.

Dianna has four daughters, ages 18 to 2, and is happily married to her high school sweetheart, Loc Phu. Dianna volunteers regularly with the Houston Geological (HGS) and through that avenue has had extensive involvement in the NeoGeos, the Offshore Technology Conference, the Gulf Coast Association of Geological Societies (GCAGS), AAPG, and the AAPG’s Division of Professional Affairs. Dianna is a member of the Association for Women Geoscientists (AWG), Geophysical Society of Houston (GSH), Society of Underwater Technology (SUT), Society of Exploration Geophysics (SEG), American Geophysical Union (AGU), Society of Sedimentary Geology (SEPM), Geological Society of America (GSA), and the Institute of Marine Engineering, Science & Technology (IMarEST).

She currently serves as the HGS’s 2020-2021 Secretary, as well as the Co-chair for the HGS Communications Committee. She is the Founder and current Co-chair of the HGS’s Social Media Committee. Dianna also serves on the HGS’s Website Committee and the Continuing Education Committees.

Dianna brings her connections, enthusiasm, and experience to the UH EAS Alumni Association and looks forward to giving back to UH.

Courtney Anzalone graduated from the University of Houston in May 2012 with a B.S. in Geophysics. She is currently a Senior Geophysicist at Schlumberger in the Digital & Integration Division. Her role provides seismic processing and imaging solutions to operators and investors looking into exploration or development of oil fields. She has worked onboard the seismic vessels as well as in various locations abroad including Abu Dhabi, UAE and Stavanger, Norway.

Courtney is currently the assistant editor for the Geophysical Society of Houston and has held this position for five years. She is also an active volunteer in the Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG), is a life member of the UHAA, and a young leaders committee member for Schlumberger in the United Way of Greater Houston.
