David Landa Marban

I completed a PhD in applied mathematics at the University of Bergen in June 2019. During my PhD I worked on an inter-disciplinary project together with industry and experimental groups. From July 2019 until December 2021 I have been working as a postdoctoral researcher in NORCE Energy & Technology in the project 'efficient models for Microbially Induced CAlcite Precipitation as a seal for CO2 storage (MICAP)'. In 2022, I started as a Research Scientist in NORCE and I am associated with the group "Computational Geosciences and Modelling".

My main research topic is mathematical modeling and simulation of biofilm processes at different scales (pore-, core-, and field-scale), motivated by applications such as ‘Microbial Enhanced Oil Recovery (MEOR)’ and ‘Microbially Induced Calcite Precipitation (MICP)’. My research includes scientific computing for multi-phase fluid flow, reactive transport, and multi-physics couplings.
