Educational Background

  • Ph.D., Computational Geosciences, University of Manchester
  • B.Sc., Geology and Geography, University of Manchester

Research Interests

    • Computational geosciences
    • Characterize and model naturally fractured reservoirs with multimodal and multiscale 3D imaging
    • Use 4D X-ray tomography (synchrotron and lab-based sources) to reveal multiphase flow mechanics and deformation in faulted and heterogeneous reservoir rocks at the pore scale
    • Characterize and model naturally fractured reservoirs of the Middle East (digital outcrop analogs) using close-range remote sensing techniques (unmanned aerial and terrestrial lidar 3D imaging)
    • Characterize structurally complex hydrocarbon reservoirs with hybrid geomechanical and quasi-genetic modeling of natural fractures and discontinuities
