Rien van Genuchten Early-Career Award of Porous Media for a Green World
Dr. Serveh Kamrava, Colorado School of Mines, USA Dr. Serveh Kamrava, is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Petroleum Engineering at the Colorado School of Mines, USA. Dr. Kamrava has significantly advanced the application and development of machine learning in the study of fluid flow in porous materials. Her ground-breaking work employs a hybrid stochastic deep learning models to improve the resolution of X-ray images of heterogeneous shale samples. This work not only improves predictive modelling but also pioneers the enhancement of porous media image resolution. She has developed machine learning algorithms that quickly estimate fluid flow properties like permeability and dispersion coefficients solely from a sample’s morphology. This leap in methodology provides a rapid, cost-effective alternative to traditional methods. Beyond her technical prowess, Dr. Kamrava stands out as a highly motivated and energetic female scientist. She can serve as a beacon for young, enthusiastic researchers, particularly women aiming to venture into STEM fields. InterPore and InterPore Foundation congratulate Serveh Kamrava on this honor and wish her continued success. | InterPore PoreLab Award for Young Researchers
Dr. Bauyrzhan K. Primkulov, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA Dr. Primkulov is currently an Instructor of Applied Mathematics, at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA. While only having completed his PhD in the Spring of 2022, Bauyrzhan has already displayed a high level of scientific accomplishment and academic maturity and has already demonstrated the ability to bridge disciplines, from fluid dynamics and interfacial phenomena to geoscience and engineering. Bauyrzhan is an outstanding young scientist and engineer with a very strong background in fluid mechanics, which he combines with an exceptional talent for laboratory experiments to make fundamental advances in our understanding of the physics of flow through complex, disordered media. InterPore and InterPore Foundation congratulate Dr. Primkulov on this honor and wish him continued success. |
