Biography

Dr. Pejman Tahmasebi is an Associate Professor at the Colorado School of Mines. For his Ph.D., he worked on the modeling of large- and small-scale porous media using data analytics methods in a joint program under the supervision of Prof. Sahimi from the University of Southern California. He then joined Stanford University as a postdoc and worked on statistical modeling for data integration and uncertainty modeling. Then, he worked as an associate research scientist at the University of Texas at Austin on the development of novel statistical and multiscale techniques. He then conducted research at Caltech on granular particles for geomechanical applications, in the Department of Mechanical and Civil Engineering. Dr. Tahmasebi has published several papers and five book chapters.
