Felipe Pereira made his mark in the world of applied mathematics by modelling the flow of oil in underground reservoirs-information needed for the efficient extraction of this precious resource. Although he will continue working on such models, his latest research challenge is a sign of changing times. As one of the distinguished faculty members at the new School of Energy Resources at the University of Wyoming in Laramie, Pereira will apply those same skills to determine how best to inject and sequester carbon dioxide beneath Earth's surface and so help reduce its contribution to climate change.
