ABOUT THE PROGRAM
The Doctor of Philosophy in Energy Engineering (Ph.D. Energy Engineering) program contributes to the engineering science needed to maintain and diversify the energy supply while finding the most rapid pathways toward greater energy sustainability. Ph.D. in Energy Engineering is concerned with the production, transformation, and impacts of energy resources including the energy transition from fossil fuels into renewable energy. Oil and natural gas are important components of the current energy system due to their widespread use, economic importance, and contributions to climate change. The flow of water, oil, and gas in the subsurface are important to quantify accurately for energy recovery, energy storage, environmental and energy efficiency assessment, and carbon storage.
