About:

n 2015 following ten years in academia as a post-doctoral researcher and research assistant at the University of Calgary (U of C), University of Regina in Canada, and the Petroleum University of Technology (PUT) in Iran. Emami-Meybodi’s research has been centered on the study of fluid flow and transport phenomena in porous media, spanning both applied and fundamental aspects. His research focus is on the development and application of analytical and numerical methods and enhancing fundamental understanding aiming at developing solutions, with a particular emphasis on applications to enhanced oil recovery, development of unconventional oil and gas resources, and carbon capture, utilization, and storage. Emami-Meybodi has authored and co-authored more than thirty technical publications. He is the current faculty adviser for the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) student chapter at Penn State. Emami-Meybodi is the recipient of the 2019 SPE Cedric K. Ferguson Medal and the 2018 SPE Regional Reservoir Description and Dynamics Award. Emami- Meybodi holds a B.S. and M.S. in chemical and petroleum engineering from PUT, and M.E., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in petroleum engineering from U of C.
