Dr Pedro Diaz is an Associate Professor in the School of Engineering at London South Bank University (LSBU). He is the Head of the Chemical and Petroleum Engineering Division. Before joining academia, he worked for over 16 years in the oil industry researching in oil recovery methods. He has also researched in the characterisation of electronic nano-materials. Currently his research interests are in the areas of enhanced oil recovery, fluid-rock and fluid-rock interactions, and formation damage
