Hi, I'm Choiti!

I grew up in Bangladesh and earned my B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Geology from the University of Dhaka, where I first developed a strong interest in subsurface energy systems. My master’s thesis focused on sequence stratigraphic analysis and reservoir characterization of the Kamta structure in the Bengal Basin, advised by A.S.M. Woobaidullah.

Following graduation, I joined Chevron Bangladesh as an Earth Scientist in the Asset Development team. I worked on the Bibiyana Gas Field, conducting 2D/3D seismic interpretation, petrophysical analysis, and static reservoir modeling to optimize well locations and identify new development opportunities. This professional experience deepened my skills in reservoir characterization and sparked my motivation to pursue further research in geological CO₂ storage.

In 2024, I began my Ph.D. in Geology at the University of Oklahoma, advised by Dr. Matthew J. Pranter in the Reservoir Characterization and Modeling Laboratory (RCML).  My research focuses on subsurface geological modeling, geothermal modeling and evaluating CO₂ storage efficiency factor in the Paleozoic strata of Oklahoma. My work involves static and dynamic reservoir modeling, petrophysical analysis, and storage efficiency assessment to understand the reservoir condition.
