J.D. Jansen

J.D. Jansen is a full Professor at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) in the School of Civil Engineering & Geosciences, specializing in the Reservoir Engineering department. His research focuses on systems and control theory applied to subsurface flow mechanics, with applications in oil and gas production, geothermal energy, and induced seismicity. He actively contributes to academic networks through editorial roles, keynote presentations, and international collaborations.

• Active in computational geosciences (modeling, simulation, data analysis)
• Member of the Dutch Mining Council since 2016
• Recipient of two Society of Petroleum Engineers awards in 2018

His work emphasizes optimization of subsurface processes, numerical modeling of porous materials, and seismicity mitigation. Recent publications highlight fault slip mechanics, benchmarking simulations, and stress pattern analysis in geothermal systems. Collaborations span geomechanics, reservoir engineering, and data assimilation domains.

Scientific awards include:

• Distinguished Membership of the Society of Petroleum Engineers (2018)
• SPE Distinguished Achievement Award for Petroleum Engineering Faculty (2018)

He leads research initiatives in induced seismicity, particularly in the Groningen Field, and contributes to model-based production optimization. Media engagements since 2020 demonstrate public outreach in energy transition topics.
