I am currently pursuing a PhD in Reservoir Technology/Analytical Chemistry at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), where my research focuses on how core handling and cleaning procedures influence wettability in porous media. By applying advanced Mass Spectrometry (MS) to study oil–rock interactions at the molecular level, I aim to reduce uncertainties in Special Core Analysis (SCAL) and improve the reliability of laboratory measurements under reservoir-representative conditions.
This project is part of the TeSCAL initiative, in collaboration with SINTEF's Reservoir & Geology and Mass Spectrometry groups, the University of Eastern Finland's Department of Chemistry, and industry partners Equinor and Aker BP ASA.
I hold a Master's degree in Petroleum Engineering from Khalifa University, United Arab Emirates, and a Bachelor's degree in Petroleum Engineering from Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB), Indonesia. Before starting my PhD, I worked as a Research Associate at Khalifa University on polymer-based Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR), in partnership with Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), where I specialized in core flooding and NMR studies in carbonate reservoirs.
