Research:
Prof. Osiptsov is leading the lab for modeling of multipahse systems at Skotlech. Scientific interests of Dr Osiptsov lie in the field of asymptotic methods, multiphase flow modeling, suspension flows, and new technology for oil and gas industry, in particular hydraulic fracturing. He has more than 50 publications, including ~30 papers indexed in Scopus and 6 granted patents. Dr Osiptsov is a member of the Society of Petroleum Engineers. Reviewer for a number of professional journals. At Skoltech, Andrei Osiptsov is involved in research projects in collaboration with Russian oil & gas companies and academic institutions on themes related to multiphase flows, especially in wells and hydraulic fractures, with the general application to new technology for the oil and gas industry. Dr. Osiptsov is also engaged in supervising students on fundamental and applied aspects of mechanics of multiphase media.
