Introducing C0GEiS: The Center for Net Carbon Zero GeoEnergy Intelligence and Sustainability

The Chemical & Petroleum Engineering Department is excited to announce a new research center C0GEiS: The Center for Net Carbon Zero GeoEnergy Intelligence and Sustainability.

This new center stems from a collaboration between CPE faculty members Amirmasoud (Masoud) Kalantari, Shahin Negahban, Mark Shiflett, and their respective research groups. Through this new center, Dr. Kalantari is the Principal Investigator and leading a $3.49 million project funded by The US Department of Energy (DOE) to develop a novel “Smart Microchip Proppants” technology for precision diagnostics of hydraulic fracture networks (project duration 2019- 2023). 

C⓪GEiS's mission is "to support industry transition toward Net Carbon zero initiative, intelligent and sustainable operation to use subsurface resources in environmentally friendly ways. C⓪GEiS is established to provide integrated education and research platform to host undergraduate and graduate students, especially women and minorities, to conduct multidisciplinary research in sustainable renewables and net-zero energy, emphasizing data science and digital 4.0 technology development."
