The Department of Mathematics has opened three new PhD positions in computational mathematics, and the Department of Earth Science has opened one PhD position in mathematically oriented geophysics. The positions are fully financed and integrated in the recently established VISTA CSD.
Maren Kjos Karlsen is starting her position as a PhD research fellow at the Department of Earth Science. Her work will focus on the seismic activity around injection sites. The project is a part of UiB’s strategic work on climate and energy transition and will be part of the Center for Modeling of Coupled Subsurfaces Dynamics.
Wietse Boon got interviewed by SIAM after winning the SIAM Activity Group on Geosciences Early Career Prize.
Dr. Omar Yesid Duran Triana joined the Department of Mathematics as a researcher earlier this year and has been working remotely from Colombia. We met Omar to talk about his previous and future involvements within the Center for Modeling of Coupled Subsurface Dynamics.
Veljko Lipovac is a new Ph.D. student at the Department of Mathematics. We decided to met him to see if we could find out a bit more about the person and the new Ph.D. project.
Ujjwal Shekhar is a new Ph.D. student at the Department of Mathematics and his project is part of the Center for Modelling of Coupled Subsurface Dynamics. We met him to find out more about his background and project.
Nadia Skoglund Taki is a new Ph.D. student at the Department of Mathematics. We met her to get to know her better and find out more about her Ph.D. project.
Dr. Ivar Stefansson recently joined the Department of Mathematics as a researcher. We met Ivar to talk about his previous and future involvements within the Porous Media Group and the Center for Modeling of Coupled Subsurface Dynamics.
Understanding fracture deformation and propagation in poroelastic media is central in development of geothermal systems. One of CSD's young scientists, Hau Trung Dang, gave a talk about the subject at the Porous media Tea Time series.
The PoroTwin project has been successfully started. We are building a digital twin of the FluidFlower.
The Matlab Resevoir Simulation Toolbox MRST now provides the MPSA-W method for discretizing geomechanics.
Congratulations to Davide Illiano on a successfully defending his PhD thesis on robust solvers for fully coupled transport and flow in saturated/unsaturated porous media!
