Prof Mariyamni Awang has been teaching Petroleum Engineering for more than 30 years. She has a bachelor's degree in chemical engineering from the University of Queensland,   a masters in petroleum engineering from The Pennsylvania State University and a PhD in petroleum engineering from Stanford University. Her research specializations are enhanced oil recovery, reservoir engineering and simulation.  Examples of the topics that she is working on and have published are lower temperature CO2 injections, applications of nanoparticles in O&G and simulation of EOR processes.  However, she has projects on reservoir characterization, chemical additives and multiphase behaviour  too.  Her projects have been funded by the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation, the Ministry of Higher Education, Petroleum Research Fund and Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS internal funding. She is currently heading EOR research at the Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS in her capacity as Director of Mission Oriented Research of EOR.

Born and raised in Addis Ababa-Ethiopia, Berihun Mamo Negash is a lecturer at Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS, department of Petroleum Engineering. He has completed his BSc. Degree in chemical Engineering from Bahir Dar University in Ethiopia and MSc. degree in petroleum engineering, with specialization in reservoir engineering from Norwegian university of science and technology in Norway. He has worked at Chemical Engineering Department of Bahir Dar University for more than 7 years delivering different courses, some of them are computational methods, chemical engineering thermodynamics, transport phenomenon, and at the same time he was a part-time lecturer at petroleum engineering department of Mekelle University for three consecutive years teaching Reservoir simulation, well logging and formation evaluation and Natural gas engineering. Currently he is researching on topics related to performance prediction of a reservoir under different conditions, such as
