معرفی
Tom Manzocchi is an Associate Professor in the School of Earth Sciences at University College Dublin. He has held roles including Co-director of the Fault Analysis Group since 2005 and previously served as Senior Lecturer/Associate Professor (2015–present), Tullow Oil Senior Lecturer (2013–2015), and Senior Research Fellow (2000–2013). His research focuses on integrating geological structure into subsurface modeling, fluid flow dynamics, and fault/fracture systems. Key interests include reservoir engineering, fault zone characterization, and the application of advanced geostatistical methods.
Education: PhD in Geology (Heriot-Watt University, 1997), BSc in Geology (Imperial College London, 1990). Professional experience includes roles at Fina Exploration Ltd (1997–2000).
Research interests span reservoir modeling, fault seal analysis, and the impact of geological features on fluid flow. He has advised eight PhD students and coordinates modules such as Geostatistics and Geomodelling and Fractured Rock Modelling.
Notable contributions include developing flow-based geometrical upscaling methods and compression-based facies modeling techniques. His work frequently addresses challenges in representing complex subsurface structures within reservoir simulation frameworks.
