Biography
Louis Durlofsky is a professor in the Department of Energy Resources Engineering and has been chair of the department since 2006. His research is in the general area of oil reservoir simulation and focuses on the development of computational approaches for subsurface flow modeling and optimization. His specific interests include computational upscaling (the development of flow simulation models from detailed geological descriptions), modeling of advanced wells, flow in fractured systems, and geological carbon sequestration. Additional topics of interest are optimization of reservoir performance, reduced-order modeling, and parameter estimation (history matching).
