Hired to create novel workflows by testing and implementing innovative methods on both experimental data and models. Learned quickly and contributed meaningfully with no background in petroleum engineering.Validated 5 functions of a proprietary ExxonMobil Reservoir Simulator by developing and testing use cases, interfacing between end user, developers, and subject matter experts to perform validations; functions went directly to the Business Unit; exposed to the Agile environment Generated insight into how hydraulically fractured oil reservoirs are plumbed by describing reservoir and fracture properties based on production behavior and developing and applying simulator workflows to novel field data from a science pad.

Thesis Subject: Experimental Investigation of Laboratory Fire Whirls (a type of combustion and vortex flow)Designed and constructed new experimental apparatus to explore fire whirl structure by using a nonobstructive laser technique (Particle Image Velocimetry) to measure velocity profiles inside and outside fire whirlsProduced first high-quality Particle Image Velocimetry data inside fire whirlsCollected, processed, cleaned, and explored large image and vector data sets using Matlab (400 sets, 1000 images per set)Arrived at scaling relationships for fire whirl size given relevant parametersPublished results in 3 papers (doi: 10.1016/j.combustflame.2015.09.027, doi: 10.1007/s00348-018- 2661-6; doi: 10.1007/s10694-015-0511-0)Presented at 10 conferences
