About Antje van der NetHassan KarimaieOle Torsæter

Hassan Karimaie is the holder of a BSc and an MS from Abadan Institute of Technology (AIT) and Tehran University respectively in petroleum engineering. He completed his PhD in 2007 and his postdoctoral degree in 2012 both on reservoir engineering at NTNU in Norway. Throughout his academic journey he has made significant contributions by teaching graduate-level reservoir engineering courses at NTNU IIT Madrass KNUST and various other universities and oil companies. He has published more than 60 papers in esteemed journals and supervised many masters and PhD students. Hassan has more than 30 years of industrial experience having worked as staff and provided consultancy services to several oil companies. He received the SPE/EAGE Award in 2009 and was selected as a distinguished lecturer by EAGE in 2019. His research interests include multiphase flow in fractured porous media CO2 EOR and storage heavy oil and all aspects of core analysis. Hassan is currently serving as Chair of Petroleum Engineering and Associate Professor at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology KNUST Ghana.Antje van der Net is since 2019 an Associate Professor in Reservoir Engineering at the Department of Geoscience of the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) Trondheim Norway. She is also a research associate at PoreLab a Norwegian Centre of Excellence. She received a masters degree in petroleum engineering from Delft Technical University in 2005. She graduated from Trinity College Dublin Ireland in 2008 with a thesis on the experimental physics on generation characterization and solidification of microcrystalline foams. She worked for 11 years in industry in BASF SE as laboratory team leader in the physics research department of Wintershall Holding GmbH and as reservoir engineer in EOR research and project coordination before coming to NTNU. Her topics of research interest are reservoir engineering experiments SCAL analysis enhanced oil recovery surfactants/low salinity wettability streaming potential convective flow CO2 storage and foams.Ole Torsæter is Professor Emeritus in reservoir engineering at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU).
