EDUCATION

PhD, Petroleum and Natural Gas Eng, The Pennsylvania State University December 2011

(GPA: 3.94/4.00)

My research is focused in ‘Predicting the Performance of Wells Located in Tight Oil Plays Using Artificial Expert Systems’.

This research aims at identifying most prolific oil producing locations and suggest optimum well placement for further infill

drilling activity. In addition, an expert system based proxy is used to optimize the completion parameters for new wells.

This proxy-based algorithm is very fast and field deployable. The methodology has been successfully tested in the field by

Chevron (also the sponsor of research).

MS, Petroleum and Natural Gas Eng, The Pennsylvania State University Fall 2007-Spring 2009

(GPA: 4.00/4.00)

My research is focused on ‘Conducting In-Situ Combustion Tube Experiments Using Artificial Neural Networks’. This

research aims at capturing the complexities of in-situ combustion process by means of developing a proxy capable in

predicting the outcomes of laboratory experiments. The methodology aims at reducing the number of experimental runs.

B.Tech, Chemical Engineering, USCT, GGS Indraprastha University (India) Fall 2003-Spring 2007

(GPA: 3.80/4.00)

My senior year research focused in ‘Nano-particle synthesis of CaCO3 in Micro-emulsion system’. My task was to prepare a

bubble column and run the experimental setup for the synthesis of CaCO3 nano-particles. The characterization of the size

of particles was done using Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) tool available in the university.

COMPUTER SKILLS Reservoir simulators: CMG, CHEARS, VIP, NEXUS, CRM, MBAL
