Huazhou (Andy) Li is an Associate Professor in Petroleum Engineering at the University of Alberta. The petroleum-engineering courses he teaches include well completion and stimulation, thermal methods for heavy oil recovery, and advanced production engineering. He conducts research on the development of improved equation-of-state-based models and algorithms for simulating the phase behavior of complex reservoir fluids. He also works on developing novel enhanced oil recovery techniques. He published a book titled “Multiphase Equilibria of Complex Reservoir Fluids”. He has authored or co-authored 106 peer-reviewed journal papers and 29 conference papers. He now serves as an associate editor for Geofluids. He received the Regional Distinguished Achievement Award for Petroleum Engineering Faculty from SPE in 2020, the Petro-Canada Young Innovator Award from the University of Alberta in 2018, and the Outstanding Technical Editor Award from SPE Journal in 2016, 2019, and 2021. He is a member of SPE and CSChE, and a Professional Engineer registered in APEGA. Li holds a BSc degree and an MSc degree, both in Petroleum Engineering, from the China University of Petroleum (East China), and a PhD degree in Petroleum Systems Engineering from the University of Regina.
