Angel received his BSc in Chemical Engineering (2011), followed by an MSc in Petroleum Engineering (2014) at the National Autonomous University of Mexico. His engineering background includes reservoir geomechanics, stress-dependent multiphase flow in fractures and fractured porous media, transient multiphase flow in pipes, and mass transfer and interactions between matrix and fractures. In addition, he developed several 3D-printing methods to create synthetic 3D-printed sandstone rocks. Before joining the University of Alberta to pursue his Ph.D., he worked as MLWD field engineering at Halliburton. His Ph.D. research focuses on the effects of triaxial stress (normal and shear stress) on multiphase fluid flow in fractured porous media using synthetic (3D-printed) sandstones.
