Marcio Murad

Team leader

Graduated in Mechanical Engineering from the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (1983), master in Mechanical Engineering from the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (1986), and PhD in Mechanical Engineering from the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (1990), Dr. Murad is currently a senior researcher at the National Scientific Computing Laboratory. He has an extensive experience and expertise in the area of Mechanical Engineering, with emphasis on fluid mechanics, transport phenomena, solid mechanics, and geomechanics, working mainly on the following themes: multiscale computational modeling of porous media; homogenization of electro-chemical-mechanical coupling in porous media; computational geomechanics of petroleum reservoirs; modeling of non-conventional reservoirs with geological complexity characterized by the presence of extended fracture networks, faults, karst conduits, collapse breccia and vugs, originated by chemical dissolution. His research has direct application on the extraction of hydrocarbons in the geological formations of the Brazilian pre-salt.
