Dr. Cunqi Jia is a postdoctoral fellow in the Hildebrand Department of Petroleum and Geosystems at The University of Texas at Austin. He holds a B.S. and Ph.D. in petroleum engineering from China University of Petroleum (East China). Cunqi’s current research focuses on developing and applying compositional reservoir simulators. His research interests include enhanced oil recovery, reactive transport, carbonate acid stimulation, naturally fractured and vuggy reservoirs, underground hydrogen storage (UHS), and geological carbon sequestration (GCS). Cunqi has published several academic papers in prestigious journals and prominent conferences. He also serves as a associate editor, guest editor, and review editor for several SCI-indexed journals and as a reviewer for authoritative journals in the energy field. On multiple occasions, he has been a section convener at international conferences. He has received the Graduate National Scholarship and the SPE Outstanding Technical Reviewer Award. e-mail: cunqijia@utexas.eduDr. Jun Yao is a professor at the School of Petroleum Engineering, China University of Petroleum (East China). Prof. Yao is also the director of the Research Center of Multiphase Flow in Porous Media, the first member of the China Petroleum Society, and has been consecutively selected as the highly cited researcher by Clarivate Analytics. He has been engaged in the research and teaching of multi-phase flow in porous media, proposed the theoretical framework of modern seepage mechanics, developed multi-scale and multi-field oil and gas seepage mechanics, and facilitated the theoretical development and engineering application of seepage mechanics. He has had important academic influence and outstanding achievements in international oil and gas seepage and also has made outstanding contributions to international academic exchanges and service promotion. Yao holds B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees, all in reservoir engineering, from China University of Petroleum. He was elected as a recipient of SPE and AIME Honorable Membership in 2020 and received the Medal of InterPore in 2024. e-mail: yaojunhdpu@126.comDr. Kamy Sepehrnoori is a professor in the Hildebrand Department of Petroleum and Geosystems Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin, where he holds the Texaco centennial chair in Petroleum Engineering. His research interests include computational methods, reservoir simulation, unconventional reservoirs, enhanced oil recovery modeling, flow assurance modeling, naturally fractured reservoirs, hydrogen and CO2 storage, high-performance computing, coupled CO2 sequestration and enhanced oil recovery. He has extensively published journal articles and conference proceedings in his areas of research and co-authored four books. Sepehrnoori is the director of the Reservoir Simulation Joint Industry Project at the Center for Subsurface Energy and the Environment. He won the Anthony F. Lucas Gold Medal from the American Institute of Mining and SPE in 2022 and the Desiderius Erasmus Award from the European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers in 2023. He holds B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees from The University of Texas at Austin in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, and Petroleum Engineering, respectively. e-mail: kamys@mail.utexas.edu
