Biography

Accomplished and energetic Petroleum Engineer with a solid history of achievement in Reservoir and Production Engineering. Motivated team player with strong organizational and prioritization abilities. A professional, innovative and persistent with a clear vision. I give my full potential when I see a big value in the work I am doing. My passion is to blend my social and engineering skills to improve the workplace. Eager to contribute immediately and seeking opportunities for professional growth.

Research Interests

My research will focus on leveraging machine learning and reservoir simulation to better understand and simulate chemical enhanced oil recovery processes, especially in high-temperature, high-salinity carbonate reservoirs.
