Muhammad Bisri Mustofa has been a Lecturer in the Geophysics Study Program, Department of Geoscience, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, Universitas Indonesia since 2020. Some of the courses taught include:
He completed his Masters-Doctoral degree in Earth Physics at Bandung Institute of Technology through the Program Magister Dokter untuk Sarjana Unggul (PMDSU) in 2022. After completing his studies, he did postdoctoral work at the Research Center for Geological Disaster, National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) from 2022 to 2023.
His research interest is the characterization of the physical properties (especially the electrical properties) of porous medium, i.e., soil and rock. Characterization of these physical properties is needed to obtain the correct interpretation of geophysical data. One of the initial efforts to build a good understanding is to review the structure of the pore spaces microscopically through digital imaging, as shown in the following figure
Figure: (a) Projection image of the sample; (b) 2D and (c) 3D reconstructed image of the sample (8-bit greyscale BMP images); (d) projection images with indicator of the vertical region of interest (ROI) of the subsample; (e) 3D and (f) 2D visualization of cubical subsample with dimensions of 240 × 240 × 240.
Sample images are used to analyze how the structure of the medium (fractures, fluid distribution, clay, etc.) influences its physical quantities. After gaining an understanding on a micro-scale, upscaling can be done on a larger scale.
He is doing a joint project with ITB-URTI Pertamina in Digital Rock Physics Studies and Fluid Flow Simulation for Reservoir Characterization (2022-2023).
