Kittipong Limchuchua
Ph.D. Student in Energy Science and Engineering, admitted Autumn 2026
BioKittipong Limchuchua is a first-year PhD student in the Stanford Energy Science and Engineering department. He received a scholarship from the Thailand national oil and gas company (NOC) to pursue his bachelor's degree in petroleum engineering at Texas A&M University from 2017 to 2020. After graduating, he joined the NOC as a petroleum reservoir engineer, focusing on subsurface flow modeling and simulation, which is grounded in integrated reservoir modeling for hydrocarbon reservoirs and carbon capture, utilization, and sequestration (CCUS) storage. During his time with the NOC, his research and business-as-usual (BAU) work centered on reservoir model history matching and optimization. At Stanford, he will continue his research with an emphasis on subsurface flow simulation, focusing on both closed-loop optimization and numerical solver development/optimization. He looks forward to engaging with world-class courses, exchanging ideas with leading energy specialists and enthusiasts, and ultimately contributing novel ideas back to both the energy-sector academia and industry.

Lixing Lin
Postdoctoral Scholar, Energy Science and Engineering
BioDr. Lixing Lin is a postdoc scholar specializing in pore-scale fluid transport, thermodynamic modeling, and enhanced oil recovery (EOR). He holds a Ph.D. in Petroleum Engineering from the University of Alberta, where his multiscale research focused on bridging micro-level fluid physics with macroscopic reservoir dynamics.
Lixing’s work spans critical areas of the energy landscape, including the thermodynamics of nanopore-confined hydrocarbons, chemical-assisted matrix-fracture interactions, and pore-scale visualization for Underground Hydrogen Storage (UHS) and carbon sequestration. By integrating advanced microfluidic visual experimentation with thermodynamic modeling, his research provides actionable insights for optimizing hydrocarbon recovery from unconventional reservoirs and advancing clean energy transition technologies.
Besides academics, he is dedicated to educating and mentoring young students on energy and STEM-related topics through his leadership in various outreach programs. -
