Strategic Modeling Technology Team

Reservoir Simulation:

• Led the development of a reservoir grid package that supports dynamic load balancing, dynamic refinement/coarsening, and unstructured meshing

• Lead developer of parallel I/O modules, supporting giga-cell reservoir models

• Developed and implemented a patent-pending, optimization-based method for modeling reservoirs with tilted oil/water contacts

• Contributed to linear and nonlinear solver development

Petroleum Systems Modeling:

• Lead developer of hydrocarbon migration package. Developed a patent-pending method for faster migration analysis using advanced data structures, and implemented in a parallel environment

• Lead developer of finite element based thermal modeling package, including discretization and solver integration

• Co-developer of basin grid package which supported complex deposition and erosion environments, dynamic load-balancing and refinement

Led internal code review initiative, coordinating review and integration

Teamwork and leadership skills recognized at the company level (Team Player Award, Mentorship Award)

Graduate research assistant in the Aerospace Computational Design Lab. Developed methods for simultaneous design and tolerance optimization, response surface modeling based on active subspaces, and uncertainty quantification of RANS turbulence models.

TA for courses in numerical methods, dynamics and propulsion.

• Improved the automation and robustness of a regression test suite for a structural acoustics simulation code.

• Parallelized and enhanced the accuracy of computational geometry algorithms used in an element-free Galerkin method.

• Individually selected to present my work to the President of the company.
