Biography

I am a Ph.D. candidate in Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering, focusing on knowledge-driven reservoir modeling and intelligent production optimization. My research integrates domain knowledge, data, and physical constraints to construct large-scale models for reservoir oil recovery analysis and decision support.

Research Interests

My research focuses on knowledge-driven reservoir modeling and intelligent production optimization. I integrate domain knowledge, data, and physical constraints to build hybrid models for reservoir analysis and decision support. Current work explores RAG- and Agent-based frameworks to enhance reservoir management and improve recovery efficiency.
