Yuan Hu

Yuan Hu is a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). She earned her PhD from Texas Tech University in 2022, specializing in option pricing in complete markets with non-Gaussian returns. Her academic work bridges theoretical finance and applied mathematics.

Her research focuses on mathematical finance, particularly pricing models for financial instruments in non-Gaussian market environments. While her Google Scholar publications appear to emphasize petroleum engineering and enhanced oil recovery (e.g., SAGD, air injection, CO2 fracturing), this may reflect interdisciplinary applications of mathematical models to energy systems or a data attribution error in the scraped content.

Yuan Hu’s recent publications (2024–2025) concentrate on thermal oil recovery methods, solvent generation, and low-carbon strategies for heavy oil reservoirs. These works involve numerical simulations, experimental studies, and comparative analyses of techniques like LTO coking, pore expansion, and CO2 injection, aiming to optimize efficiency and reduce emissions in energy extraction processes.
