Hugh Daigle

Professor, The University of Texas at Austin

Ph.D., Earth Science, Rice University

Dr. Daigle’s research focuses on characterizing physical and transport properties of rocks using a combination of laboratory experiments and numerical simulation. Specific areas of interest include methane hydrate formation and response to marine hydrate systems to external perturbations; petrophysical measurement and assessment techniques; applications of nanoparticles in subsurface engineering; and geohazard detection and prediction. His work is aimed at improving formation evaluation, completion design and production strategy. Hugh was awarded a Cockrell School of Engineering Dean’s Award for Outstanding Engineering Teaching at The University of Texas at Austin.
