Advanced Modeling with the MATLAB Reservoir Simulation Toolbox

Knut-Andreas Lie is Chief Scientist at SINTEF in Oslo, Norway. Over the last 20 years he has developed commercial and in-house software solutions for the international petroleum industry. He is a founding father of two pieces of open-source community software (MRST and OPM). He is the author of the textbook An Introduction to Reservoir Simulation using MATLAB/GNU Octave: User Guide for the MATLAB Reservoir Simulation Toolbox (MRST). He has authored 170 scientific papers and supervised seventy MSc/PhD students. Knut-Andreas is a Fellow of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM), an elected member of the Norwegian Academy of Technological Sciences, and recently served as executive editor of SPE (Society of Petroleum Engineers) Journal. Olav Møyner is a Research Scientist at SINTEF in Oslo, Norway. For the past 10 years, he has been one of the primary developers of the MRST open-source community software. His work on multiscale methods for reservoir simulation won him the 2017 prize from the Dimitris N. Chorafas Foundation for the best PhD thesis at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), Trondheim. In 2019 he was awarded the Early Career Prize from the SIAM Activity Group on Geosciences for his 'elegant and insightful contributions to theory, algorithms, and software for multiscale porous flow simulation, and for his exceptional scholarly productivity and impact on practice'.
