Bibek Chand is an associate professor in the Department of Political Science and International Affairs and the winner of a 2025 Teaching Excellence Award. Simulations are experiential learning tools ...

Abstract: The technology of logging-while-drilling (LWD) resistivity measurement, which derives formation resistivity from multiple transmitter–receiver antenna configurations, has been widely applied ...

Accurate rate of penetration (ROP) prediction is important for optimizing drilling parameters, selecting drilling tools, improving drilling efficiency, and reducing operation cost. The study area is ...

Transparent conductive thin films are crucial in various semiconductor devices, including solar cells, liquid crystal displays (LCDs), light-emitting diodes (LEDs), and sensors. Indium tin oxide (ITO) ...

Abstract: In this paper, we improve the three-dimensional (3-D) finite volume algorithm of coupled potentials on cylindrical grids to enhance the simulation efficiency of the logging while drilling ...

Unless you, dear reader, are a web-scraping software bot quietly pulling this text into a data-hungry LLM, you’re probably a human. And though you’ve likely never seen me in person, you have good ...

For the design of reliable power grounding systems for critical electrical infrastructure, soil resistivity investigation is crucial. However, soil resistivity depends on various geotechnical ...

Could we be trapped inside a simulated reality, rather than the physical universe we usually assume? It’s a tantalizing theory, long theorized by philosophers and popularized by the 1999 blockbuster ...
