Engineering Application of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning


Disciplines: Data Science and Engineering Analytics

Course Description

It is very important to learn what are the main characteristics and requirements in applying Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning to solve Engineering related problems. To learn and apply Science and Engineering, Homo Sapiens must take a serious amount of time and efforts at universities and industries. Unfortunately, large number of individuals that are interested in Data Science do not necessarily think that the same think is required for solving scientific and engineering related problems using Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.

Furthermore, issues such as the differences between traditional Statistics and Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, Explainable Artificial Intelligence, and Ethics of Artificial Intelligence are also very importance parts of the Engineering Application of Artificial Intelligence that will be covered in this Course.

Topics covered in this short course:

  • Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning
  • Modeling Physical Phenomena using Artificial Intelligence
  • Differences between Engineering and Non-Engineering Application of Artificial Intelligence
  • Differences between Traditional Statistics and Artificial Intelligence
  • eXplainable Artificial Intelligence
  • AI-Ethics (Why we should not be using Hybrid Models)

Instructor

Dr. Shahab D. Mohaghegh, a pioneer in the application of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in the Exploration and Production industry, is Professor of Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering at West Virginia University and the president and CEO of Intelligent Solutions, Inc. (ISI). He is the director of WVU-LEADS (Laboratory for Engineering Application of Data Science).


Including more than 30 years of research and development in the petroleum engineering application of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning, he has authored three books (Shale Analytics – Data Driven Reservoir Modeling – Application of Data-Driven Analytics for the Geological Storage of CO2), more than 200 technical papers and carried out more than 60 projects for independents, NOCs and IOCs. He is a SPE Distinguished Lecturer (2007 and 2020) and has been featured four times as the Distinguished Author in SPE’s Journal of Petroleum Technology (JPT 2000 and 2005). He is the founder of SPE’s Technical Section dedicated to AI and machine learning (Petroleum Data-Driven Analytics, 2011).


He has been honored by the U.S. Secretary of Energy for his AI-based technical contribution in the aftermath of the Deepwater Horizon (Macondo) incident in the Gulf of Mexico (2011) and was a member of U.S. Secretary of Energy’s Technical Advisory Committee on Unconventional Resources in two administrations (2008-2014). He represented the United States in the International Standard Organization (ISO) on Carbon Capture and Storage technical committee (2014-2016).
