Reza Sanaee

Strategic Advisor

Reza is a Principal Geomechanics Engineer at COWI responsible for geomechanical projects, energy transition and sustainable initiatives with a background in mining, oil and gas drilling and reservoir engineering. Reza is a Fellow of Higher Education Academy and has published several conference and journal papers covering geomechanics, stress dependent flow characterisation, geothermal energy exploitation and carbon capture and storage.

Talking about the appointment, Reza said, ‘I am determined to use my academic and industrial experience to support the IOM3 associated disciplines to be champions of the transition to a low-carbon, resilient & resource efficient society. I’m looking forward to promoting collaboration and interdisciplinary working across the wide-ranging IOM3 Technical Communities’.

Reza oversees the Energy Materials Group and the Energy Transition Group. 

Energy Materials Group

A cross-cutting group focussing on the materials issues in low carbon energy supply

Energy Transition Group

Supporting all technical, educational and professional aspects of the energy transition

This has to take into account that transition into a net-zero emission energy industry is a timely journey covering challenges not only in technical terms but also in management, social responsibility, biodiversity, risk and economical value chain. This will require a multidisciplinary collaboration to achieve a sustainable energy industry through implementation of a comprehensive strategic outlook.

IOM3, through the Technical Community groups in this space, working with the Strategic Advisor (Energy), can assist in expediting this process, leveraging existing infrastructure and know-how and adopting best practice across all energy sectors both in the UK and further afield for best lessons-learned scenarios.
