Sanjay Srinivasan

Pennsylvania State University

Professor of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering & John and Willie Leone Family Chair in Energy and Mineral Engineering

Dr. Srinivasan is a professor and the holder of the John and Willie Leone Family chair in Energy and Mineral Engineering and the department head. He is also a faculty researcher affiliated with the EMS Energy Institute. Prior to joining Penn State, Sanjay was a professor in the department of Petroleum and Geosystems Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin. There, he was a focus area lead with the Center for Subsurface Energy Security – a Department of Energy funded Energy Frontier Research Center. His research interests are in spatial statistics, development of geostatistical techniques for data integration and modeling of complex geological systems and development of heavy oi recovery processes.  He has pioneered techniques for monitoring the migration of the carbon dioxide plume during geologic sequestration, for identifying sweet spots in unconventional plays synthesizing information from multiple sources and at multiple scales and for investigating the subsurface couplings that result in natural hazards such as sinkholes. Sanjay completed his Bachelor’s in Petroleum Engineering from the Indian School of Mines, Master’s in Petroleum Engineering from the University of Southern California and Ph.D. in Petroleum Engineering from Stanford University.
