The Subsurface Energy and Environmental Systems (SEES) lab at USC focuses on developing customized AI and Machine Learning solutions for advanced inference and prediction in subsurface energy and industrial applications. Our interdisciplinary research integrates Machine Learning, Applied Mathematics, Estimation and Control, and Computational Geosciences, with the goal of creating cutting-edge solutions for optimizing the recovery of subsurface energy resources while minimizing environmental impacts. The lab is supported by diverse funding sources, including government agencies, private industry, and non-profit foundations. Within the Viterbi School of Engineering, we are affiliated with the Mork Family Department of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science, Ming Hsieh Departmental of Electrical Engineering, and Sonny Astani Departmental of Civil and Environmental Engineering.
