Piroska Lorinczi is an Associate Professor in the School of Earth and Environment at the University of Leeds. She received both her BSc in Mathematics and MSc in Algebra/Mathematics from Babes-Bolyai University, and earned her Ph.D. in Earth Sciences/Applied Mathematics from the University of Leeds. She is also a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. Her main research focuses on the development and use of computational methods to improve the understanding of fluid flow in porous media. She has worked on the development and use of direct and inverse computational methods to improve the understanding of fluid flow in unconventional reservoirs, such as shale gas reservoirs, and to determine unknown flow properties in such reservoirs.
