Experience and education

Research in mathematical and computational methods and faculty membership in the Graduate Program in Computational Modeling. Teaching, supervision, and development of numerical methods and scientific software.

Professional scientific software development for the oil and gas industry, implementing mathematical models, numerical methods and computational libraries. This work combined scientific programming in C++ and Python with applications in fluid properties, porous media and geochemistry.

• Phase equilibria and PVT properties: development of the PVTlib library for petroleum fluids.
• Digital rock analysis: maintenance and development of PORE, including pore network models, geochemical coupling and upscaling.
• Geochemistry: implementation of activity coefficient models for electrolyte mixtures in the C++ Reaktoro library.
• Uncertainty quantification: development of an internal library for model calibration and sensitivity analysis.
