William Monte Verde is a Researcher at the Center for Energy and Petroleum Studies (CEPETRO), University of Campinas (UNICAMP), Brazil. His research focuses on multiphase flow in petroleum production systems, with emphasis on artificial lift and flow assurance. His work integrates experimental investigation, phenomenological modeling, and machine learning techniques for performance prediction and production monitoring. He has extensive experience in experimental infrastructure development and has contributed to several R&D projects in collaboration with major oil and gas companies. His research addresses complex flow phenomena in centrifugal pumps and pipeline systems, including viscous and non-Newtonian fluids, as well as transient multiphase flows. He has authored peer-reviewed publications in international journals and actively contributes as a reviewer in the field. His current interests include data-driven modeling, virtual sensing, and optimization of oil production systems.
