Roman Shor, Ph.D., P.Eng., is an Associate Professor in the Harold Vance Department of Petroleum Engineering at Texas A&M University. Previously, he was an Associate Professor and the Energi Simulation Industrial Research Chair in Geothermal Systems at the University of Calgary.   He leads of the Wells for the Future Consortium at Texas A&M, and his research interests lie in the areas of drillstring dynamics modeling and control, drilling optimization, drilling systems automation, and drilling in extreme environments. His research team explores topics in deep drilling systems to reduce well costs and improve drilling efficiency to enable deep geothermal systems. He also applies machine learning techniques to problems in the energy sector and is interested in reducing the impact of drilling operations on the environment and surrounding communities. He collaborates with researchers around the world on topics in geothermal energy, drill string dynamics, and the subsurface as an energy asset.
