Pablo Salinas

Pablo Salinas is a Research Fellow in the Novel Reservoir and Simulation group (NORMS) at Imperial College London's Department of Earth Science & Engineering. He holds affiliations with the Applied Modelling and Computation Group and NORMS. His primary role involves advancing reservoir simulation through computational methods.

• Current Position: Research Fellow (2018–Present)
• Previous Roles: Post-doctoral research associate (2013–2018)

Research focuses on subsurface energy systems, multiphase flow dynamics, and numerical methods like multigrid solvers and unstructured mesh optimization. He is the lead developer of the Imperial College Finite Element Reservoir Simulator (IC-FERST), pioneering coupled physics/chemistry simulations with dynamic mesh adaptation.

Salinas currently supervises 5 PhD projects and contributes to the UK's national core studies program addressing the COVID-19 pandemic, advising SAGE. His work integrates geothermal energy, contaminant transport modeling, and well optimization.

Labs/Teams: NORMS group, leading IC-FERST development.
