Papers, Presentations & Conferences
Dr. Sampaio was the Technical Organizer for ASME- OMAE 2018 in Madrid. The Petroleum Engineering Sec- tion reached the 3rd largest session of the 11 sessions of the conference. He also chaired the OMAE-2019 Drill- ing Mechanics Topic in Glasgow, Scotland. Graduate students are encouraged to submit papers for the next conference (OMAE-2020) in Fort Lauderdale, FL.
Dr. Tutuncu is serving as the newly elected SEG Re- search Committee Chair and the co-chair of the 54th US Rock Mechanics/Geomechanics Symposium to be held in Golden, Colorado in June 2020. We are glad to bring the Geomechanics Symposium to Golden after thirteen years of hiatus to host this annual ARMA event at our beautiful campus.
