Josue Fonseca
Ph.D. Student in Energy Resources Engineering
BioI consider myself a pragmatic, easy-going, and technical persona. I am always trying to be with good humor, which helps to reduce natural aging. My goal is to understand energy resources in order to use technical concepts when harvesting them for human development.
My academic background is in physics, with B.Sc., and M.Sc. degrees from Universidade Federal de Pernambuco - Brazil. Before I start my Ph.D. program, I have worked for 9 years in the petroleum industry at Petrobras. At that time, my job encompassed a variety of quantitative methods applied to geosciences, such as rock physics, seismic reservoir characterization, geomodeling applications, quantitative seismic interpretation, and geologic velocity model building.
As a geophysicist and researcher, my main objective is to combine concepts from several disciplines and data from different sources to extract valuable information about the Earth's subsurface. I am a firm believer that this sort of integration must be achieved by means of computational models along with geological expertise. Moreover, uncertainty quantification is required to fully characterize the output of any built model which mimics the subsurface. Therefore, I focus on evaluating interdisciplinary workflows that forecast rock properties in addition to its uncertainty quantification. -

Jeffrey Rutherford
Ph.D. Student in Energy Resources Engineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsFor his PhD research, Jeff is using bottom-up life cycle assessment (LCA) tools to evaluate the climate and energy intensity of energy projects. Specifically, using the Oil Production and Greenhouse-Gas Emissions Estimator (OPGEE, an open source LCA tool), Jeff is estimating the environmental impact of a sample of natural gas projects globally. Necessarily, this requires the rigorous quantification of life cycle energy consumption and fugitive emissions.

Ph.D. Student in Energy Resources Engineering
BioI am a PhD student in Ilenia Battiato’s group at the Department of Energy Resources Engineering in Stanford University. My research focuses on modeling reactive flow and mineral precipitation in porous and fractured media. I developed patch-based and data-driven upscaling algorithms to apply high-fidelity pore-scale modeling to large-scale problems. The research provides a reliable and efficient solution for physical processes that cannot be upscaled by traditional effective medium approximations.
