Short Bio:
Dr. Ravi Sharma received the master’s degree in Applied Geophysics from the University of Roorkee, Roorkee, India, in 1999, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in petroleum engineering from the Colorado School of Mines, Golden, CO, USA, in 2015.
He has extensive work experience in various roles in the hydrocarbon energy industry. His research interests include experimental and modeling methods in rock physics and petrophysics for storage, flow, and the associated elastic and geomechanical property determination, integrated reservoir (convention and unconventional) characterization, machine learning (ML), artificial intelligent (AI) applications in geosciences, and petroleum engineering.
Dr. Sharma is an active member of the American Geophysical Union (AGU), IEEE, Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG), Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE), American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG), Society of Petroleum Geophysicists (SPG), and Society of Petrophysicists and Well Log Analysts (SPWLA), an Associate Editor of the Journal of Applied Geophysics and Geohorizons, and a Guest Editor of Frontiers in Earth Science.
