Ashkan Jahanbani Ghahfarokhi is an Associate Professor at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Department of Geosciences (IGV), specializing in reservoir engineering. He leads the CEORS Gemini Centre, a strategic collaboration between NTNU and SINTEF on CO2 Enhanced Oil Recovery & Storage. His roles include Head of the Well and Reservoir Group (2021-2022), Project Manager for the NORHED II Program in Mozambique, and Guest Editor for the Energies journal's AI/ML in Oil & Gas Special Issue. Education: PhD (NTNU, 2015), MEng (University of Calgary, 2009), MSc/BSc (Petroleum University of Technology, Iran) Research focuses on subsurface reservoir modeling, CO2 storage, data-driven techniques, and production optimization. Key interests include: CO2-EOR/Storage system design Machine learning integration in reservoir simulation Wellbore-reservoir coupling dynamics Recent articles emphasize advanced numerical modeling of CO2 injection in depleted gas fields, AI-driven proxy models for reservoir optimization, and interfacial tension analysis for hydrogen storage. His work spans 40+ peer-reviewed papers and 20+ conference presentations. Scientific Awards: NTNU's Outstanding Academic Fellows Programme (2022-2026), DNVA Postdoctoral Scholarship (2015-2017) Supervised 20+ master’s students and 4 PhD candidates, including Jinjie Mao (CO2 storage optimization), Cuthbert Ng (data-driven reservoir modeling), and Behnam Tavagh Mohammadi (CO2 field storage modeling). Active in teaching reservoir simulation, CO2 storage engineering, and petroleum geoscience courses at NTNU.
