Education

My entire education has been done in Denmark. In Denmark, especially, high school works a little differently from here in the US. High school in Denmark is only three years compared to the usual four years in the US. Another difference is, in Denmark there are three different high schools to choose from. There is a standard high school called STX. This would be the type the closest to high school here in the US. Then there is a business-focused high school called HHX. Here the focus is more weighted on businesses. So, you have subjects more focused on the economy, trade and so on. And finally, there is a technically focused high school called HTX. This is the type of high school I attended. Here subjects like math, physics and chemistry have a higher priority. You also have more technical subjects, plus there is more project work.


High School

I attended 'Sydkystens Gymnasium' from 2007 to 2010. Back then it was know as 'CPH West'.

University (Bachelor's)

Link: Technical University of Denmark

For my Bachelor's, I studied civil engineering. Throughout the three years, I realized that my main interest was in 3D modeling and simulations. So, I tailored my Bachelor's with specialty courses to fit into that interest. This expertise in drawing, modeling, and simulation also landed me a steady job as a teaching assistant.

University (Master's)

I took my Master's degree at the same university, even though I changed the field of study. My two-year Master's was pretty straight forward. I followed all the mandatory courses needed, and for the elective courses I took a programing course at the space department, I took a leader/management course back at the civil engineering department and I took a rock mechanics course, among others.

Thesis

I wrote my thesis about the use of Radial Jet Drilling (RJD) in geothermal reservoirs. Focusing on how they can be used to optimize flow through a fractured reservoir, and how the distance between the lateral wells and the length of the lateral wells affect the flow through the reservoir. The work resulted in the scientific article 'A novel redial jet drilling stimulation technique for enhancing heat recovery from fractured geothermal reservoirs'. The Abstract from the set article is shown below, and the full article can be downloaded here.

Abstract

In this study, the application of the Radial Jet Drilling (RJD), a novel stimulating technique for enhancing productivity in the existing wells in deformable naturally fractured reservoirs, was investigated using a robust three-dimensional finite element DFM (discrete fracture-matrix) model. Results showed that the RJD laterals were more effective in enhancing injectivity/productivity in cases with lower fracture density, i.e. lower equivalent permeability, while they had no significant effect on heat production in these cases. In higher fracture density cases, the RJD laterals improved the heat production while having no significant effect on injectivity/productivity. Results also showed that in reservoirs with very low permeability matrix, the RJD laterals can be used to connect the wells to the fracture network and hence enhance the well performance. The sensitivity analysis on the average net energy production rate with respect to the length of the RJD laterals showed that in the situations where the wells were not connected directly to the fractures, the length of RJD laterals played a crucial role in enhancing the average net energy rate. However, the 100m laterals almost removed the dependency of the average net energy production rate on the well placement for low, medium and high fracture density cases.
