Larry W. Lake is the Shahid and Sharon Ullah Endowed Chair in petroleum engineering at the University of Texas at Austin.[1] He has served on the faculty of the Hildebrand Department of Petroleum and Geosystems Engineering since 1978. He obtained a B.S.E. from Arizona State University and a Ph.D. from Rice University, both in chemical engineering.[2] He is a world-famous expert in reservoir engineering, geochemistry, fluid flow in porous media and enhanced oil recovery.

Larry was elected a member of the National Academy of Engineering in 1997 for contributions to quantitative reservoir description and enhanced oil recovery.[1][2]

He is married to Carole.

Honors
