Graduate Students
Junwen Peng
, Ph.D., expected 2021
(Supervisor)
Junwen Peng received his B.S. degree in resource exploration engineering (petroleum geology) from China University of Geosciences (Wuhan) in 2013. In 2016, he graduated from China University of Petroleum (Beijing) with an M.S. degree in geological resources and geological engineering (petroleum geology). He is now a doctoral candidate in geology at the University of Texas at Austin. His current research...

, Ph.D., expected 2018
(Committee Member)
I am interested in understanding the spatial distribution of natural fractures in carbonate depositional systems and the effect of the stratigraphy and lithology on fracture intensity and geometry. I take a process-based approach to understand early fracture development with a focus on carbonate mounds/build-ups. This is accomplished by geomechanical forward models that takes into account variable mechanical properties, differential compaction,...
