    • Designed and developed graduate course titled "Multiphase Flow and Heat Transfer." This course has been very well received by students and is offered as a short course to industry professionals.

    INDUSTRIAL EXPERIENCE

    Consultant, Shell Petroleum Technology, Austin, TX, 1995 - Present
    • Pioneered work on modeling transient momentum, heat, and mass transport in wellbores. Made significant impact on well test design and interpretation. Model is aiding Chevron with well tests and allowing better design of surface facilities for wells in high-temperature reservoirs.
    • Introduced concept of thermal storage to identify a phenomenon that affects early-time temperature and pressure data in transient tests.
    • Designed and implemented model for phase redistribution in wellbores.
    • Developed and implemented rigorous solution for formation temperature distribution with a finite wellbore heat source. Utilized this method to formulate expressions for fluid temperatures for multiphase production in onshore and offshore facilities in single and multiple producing strings.
    • Redesigned and simplified the method for estimating static formation temperature from mud temperature (after circulation has ceased), thus offering more accuracy and reliability.
    • Developed analytic expressions for fluid temperature in the annulus and the tubing during mud circulation. The new technique facilitates modeling of heat transfer during gas-lift operations and gas-lift valve design.
    • Developed method to analyze acoustic well sounding (AWS) data for testing pumping wells. Made significant contributions in the area of pumping well testing.
    • Pioneered modeling of multiphase flow, including two-phase flow of oil and water and three-phase flow of gas-oil-water in vertical and deviated wells. The wellbore model has become an industry standard and is utilized extensively by Chevron and British Petroleum.

    Consultant, Bush Oil Resources, Odessa, TX, 2003 - 2004

    • Played instrumental role in developing predictive models and streamlining various tools and methods for international corporations.

    Technical Researcher, NASA-Glenn, Cleveland, OH, 2002 - 2005

    • Developed computational tools for cryogenic transport processes under low pressure and micro gravity conditions.
    • Modeled transient flow of mass, momentum, and energy for cryogenic fluid flow.

    ACADEMIC HONORS AND AWARDS

    • Dow Chemical Professor of Engineering, University of Pittsburgh, 2000 - present.
    • Outstanding Technical Editor, Society of Petroleum Engineers, 1999 and 2002.
    • Commonwealth Scholarship, Pennsylvania State University, 1978 - 1983.

    RESEARCH FELLOWSHIPS

    • Summer Research Fellowship, American Society of Engineering Educator at NASA-Glenn Research Lab, Cleveland, OH, 1999 and 2001.
      --Modeled transient transport processes in cryogenic fluids.
    • Summer Research Professorships, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA, 2000 and 2002.
    • Summer Research Fellowship, Association of Midwestern Universities, Ohio National Engineering Lab, Dayton, OH, 1990 and 1992.
      --Modeled two-phase flow metering, reservoir simulation.
