Prof Martin Blunt is a pioneer in the study of multiphase flow in porous materials. He has written over 400 scientific papers that have received over 50,000 citations with an h-factor of 114. He has been involved in two successful start-up companies, has transformed the characterization and understanding of flow properties by major energy and service companies, and has helped establish flow in porous media as a distinct scientific discipline. His work has been recognized by the award of the most senior prizes by several learned societies. He is a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering and the Royal Society.

Sharon Finlay is a graduate from University of Aberdeen and has spent the majority covering the broad spectrum of Petrophysics from exploration through to brownfield and EOR. Her focus now is on technology and innovation and finding the optimal combinations of innovative solutions to optimally develop challenging parts of the reservoirs.

Dr. Thomas Daniel Seers is an accomplished academic in the field of Petroleum Engineering and currently serves as an Assistant Professor at Texas A&M University at Qatar. Dr. Seers holds a PhD in Petroleum Engineering and has built a reputation for his expertise in geomechanics, fractured reservoirs, and wellbore stability. His research focuses on enhancing oil and gas recovery through the integration of geomechanical modeling, fracture characterization, and reservoir simulation. He is particularly interested in the complex behavior of fractured reservoirs and the development of predictive models that account for both natural and induced fractures. Dr. Seers has published extensively in high-impact journals and is a sought-after collaborator for research projects involving geomechanics and reservoir engineering. His work has contributed significantly to understanding reservoir behaviors under varying stress conditions, particularly in carbonate formations. In addition to his research, Dr. Seers is actively involved in teaching and mentoring students in petroleum engineering, sharing his knowledge in both theoretical principles and practical applications. Through his dedication to advancing both research and education in petroleum engineering, Dr. Seers continues to make impactful contributions to the field, particularly in addressing the challenges posed by complex subsurface environments.
