Jef Caers received the M.Sc. degree in mining engineering/geophysics and the Ph.D. degree in engineering from Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Leuven, Belgium, in 1993 and 1997, respectively.
Since 2015, he has been a Professor of geological sciences, and by courtesy of geophysics, and previously, a Professor of energy resources engineering at Stanford University, Stanford, CA, USA. He is also the Director of the Stanford Center for Earth Resources Forecasting, Stanford, an industrial affiliates program in decision-making under uncertainty funded by the Earth Resources Industry. He has written four books Petroleum Geostatistics (SPE, 2005), Modeling Uncertainty in the Earth Sciences (Wiley-Blackwell, 2011), Multiple-point Geostatistics: Stochastic Modeling With Training Images (Wiley-Blackwell, 2015), and Quantifying Uncertainty in Subsurface Systems (Wiley-Blackwell, 2018). He has published in a diverse range of journals covering mathematics, statistics, geological sciences, geophysics, engineering, and computer science. His research interests include quantifying uncertainty and risk in the exploration and exploitation of earth resources.
Dr. Caers received the Krumbein Medal by the International Association for Mathematical Geosciences.
