Constantin Cranganu is a professor of geophysics and petroleum geology at Brooklyn College of the City University of New York. He obtained a Ph.D. degree (ABD) from the University of Bucharest, Romania (1993), in geophysics and another Ph.D. from the University of Oklahoma (1997) in geology. Before coming to Brooklyn College, he worked at "Al. I. Cuza" University of Iasi, Romania, and the School of Geology and Geophysics of University of Oklahoma. His main research covers various areas of petroleum geosciences: oil and gas generation, abnormal fluid pressures in sedimentary basins, gas hydrate exploitation, identification of gas-bearing layers using well logs, geostatistics, etc. Lately, Prof. Cranganu started using artificial intelligent approaches in his petroleum-related research. He published many books, peer-reviewed articles, book reviews, and essays. His paper, "Using gene expression programming to estimate sonic log distributions based on the natural gamma ray and deep resistivity logs: A case study from the Anadarko Basin, Oklahoma", (co-author Elena Bautu), published in Journal of Petroleum Science and Engineering in 2012 was nominated for ENI Awards 2012. In 2014, he was the author and the senior editor of "Artificial Intelligent Approaches in Petroleum Geosciences", Springer, 1st edition. See less
