NATHAN MOODIE

Dr. Nathan Moodie is a Research Assistant Professor with the Carbon Science Initiative (CSI) in the Civil & Environmental Engineering Department at the University of Utah. He is also part of the Energy & Geoscience Institute (EGI) at the University of Utah. He joined EGI as a graduate student pursuing his Masters through the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering in 2011. Throughout his graduate work, he has continued with EGI, earning both his Masters and Ph.D., and now is a Research Assistant Professor. His expertise covers many aspects of multi-phase, multi-physics numerical simulations, focusing on geologic carbon storage under multiple scenarios, including permanent geologic storage in deep saline aquifers and enhanced oil recovery operations. He specializes in the application of relative permeability and capillary pressure to numerical models and how uncertainty in the data can impact the modeling results. In conjunction with this, he is currently collaborating on several DOE-sponsored research projects in the western US.
