Dr Harris Sajjad Rabbani

Biography

Dr. Rabbani completed M.Eng. (Integrated Master’s Degree) in Petroleum Engineering (2014) and Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering (2018) from The University of Manchester. His research focuses on advancing the fundamental understanding of multiphase flow though porous media. Utilizing computer modeling, imaging/visualization and high performance computing, his research aims to garner key insights into immiscible fluid physics at the pore scale, then scaling up these observations to continuum scales through mathematical formulation for prediction of large-scale Earth science problems in the areas of energy and the environment. Dr. Rabbani efforts in collaboration with various top international research institutes have resulted in high-quality peer-reviewed publications in leading scientific journals. Moreover, Dr. Rabbani has been invited to present key scientific findings of his research in various international and national conferences including InterPore, SPE and EAGE. In addition, he is also serving as a reviewer for top-notch scientific journals.
