Biography

David DiCarlo is an Associate Professor at the Hildebrand Department of Petroleum and Geosystems Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin. His research focuses on applying advanced experimental techniques to understand fluid flow in hydrocarbon reservoirs. He utilizes techniques such as CT scanning to provide in-situ phase saturations, which can be used to derive permeabilities and relative permeabilities in a more efficient manner than traditional steady-state methods. His work includes significant contributions to topics related to enhanced oil recovery, surfactant imbibition, and flow stability among others. Over the years, he has gained recognition through various awards including the SPE Regional Reservoir Description Dynamics Award in 2014 and nominations for teaching excellence at the University of Texas. His highlighted publications cover various aspects of fluid dynamics in porous media, contributing valuable insights to the field of petroleum engineering.
