Catherine Wins Third Place for CO₂ Injection Research at the 2025 SPE Western Regional Student Paper Contest

Catherine was awarded third place in the PhD Division of the 2025 SPE Western Regional Student Paper Contest for her research on carbon storage. Her project, titled "A High-Resolution Deep Learning Model for CO₂ Injection at the Otway International Test Centre," introduces an advanced AI-driven approach to modeling CO₂ injection behavior in subsurface reservoirs. The work highlights the potential of deep learning to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies—an essential step toward global climate mitigation efforts. Congratulations to Catherine on this well-deserved recognition for her impactful research!
