STOMP Team

STOMP Developers and Users

Mark White

Mark White has more than 30 years of experience developing and applying world-class multifluid, coupled-process subsurface numerical simulation capabilities for PNNL and is the principal developer of the STOMP suite of simulators. STOMP is currently being used to provide new understanding of subsurface process behavior, with applications in environmental restoration, environmental stewardship, carbon sequestration, conventional and unconventional fossil energy production, and geothermal systems. Most recently, his work has been focused on developing embedded fracture, fault, and borehole modeling capabilities into STOMP.

 

Diane Bacon

Diana Bacon is a computational scientist whose research has focused on developing and applying subsurface simulators to understand the fate and transport of radionuclides, carbon, and pollutants in groundwater. She’s currently using STOMP to train deep learning models for pressure management and groundwater protection during carbon storage operations as part of the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Risk Assessment Partnership and SMART initiative. Dr. Bacon holds a Ph.D. in Geology from Washington State University.

 

Jeff Burghardt

Jeff Burghardt is a staff scientist at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) with over 10 years of experience in subsurface engineering research with a background in computational solid mechanics. His past research experience in the petroleum industry includes perforation and completion design for hydraulic stimulation, fracture conductivity optimization, wellbore stability, and stress estimation. Since joining PNNL in 2016, his research has focused on coupled porous media flow and geomechanical simulations, uncertainty quantification and reduction for state of stress and rock mechanical properties for CO2 storage and geothermal reservoir development.
