Dr Mohammad Sayyafzadeh is a senior lecturer in reservoir engineering at the University of Adelaide. He has solid background in the field of mathematical physics and computational mathematics (specifically, optimisation, machine learning, geostatistics, uncertainty quantification and numerical simulation). Mohammad enjoys conducting research, solving problems and teaching courses in an expansive range of engineering and geosciences subjects, such as field development, water-flooding optimisation, Hydrogen and CO2 storage and reservoir characterisation. He has co-authored more than 45 papers, and developed and taught many courses and technical workshops, including machine learning and uncertainty modelling. Mohammad holds a B.Sc. in Chemical Engineering and M.Sc. in Advanced Reservoir Engineering, both from Tehran Polytechnic, and has a PhD in Petroleum Engineering from the University of Adelaide, completed in 2013.
