Dr. Thomas G. Harding, Ph.D., P.Eng.
Dr. Harding is a Professor, and the Associate Head of Undergraduate Studies, at the Schulich School of Engineering. Dr. Harding joined the School in 2004 after a 28-year career in the petroleum industry. He has varied engineering experience related to heavy oil, conventional oil and gas production operations both domestic and international. His main areas of research interest are in advanced oil recovery, including methods for heavy oil and oil sands extraction and enhanced recovery of conventional oil, and management of produced water associated with oil and gas recovery operations with work emphasizing minimization of fresh water usage for hydrocarbon recovery and beneficial reuse and recycling of produced water. His current work is focused on removal of organic contaminants in produced water from thermal oil recovery operations.
