Farrokh joined ERL as a Postdoctoral Associate in 2014 after working as geomechanic engineer in Itasca Houston and completing his PhD, and he is now a Research Scientist. He received his PhD in civil engineering, with a minor in petroleum engineering from the University of Texas at Austin in 2013. His PhD focused on the application of 3D boundary element modeling on natural and hydraulic fracture development. Farrokh's experience and interests include natural fracture development and behavior, hydraulic fracturing, fracture mechanics and propagation modeling and constitutive modeling of fractured rocks. He also does numerical geomechanical modeling using the discrete element, finite element, boundary element and displacement discontinuity methods. Farrokh is currently working on the modeling of hydraulic fracture propagation in naturally fractured reservoirs, fault reactivation and HF induced seismicity.

Jim Witham’s career has focused on bringing new technology, like GaN Systems’ world’s best performing power transistors, to the Electronics market. Witham joined GaN Systems from Neoconix, a manufacturer of high density, miniature connectors. As CEO of Neoconix, he successfully implemented strategic changes which dramatically increased revenue and resulted in the company’s acquisition by Unimicron Technology. Prior to Neoconix, Witham was CEO of Fultec Semiconductor, where his team made circuit protection devices using high voltage silicon, silicon carbide and gallium nitride (GaN) transistors. Fultec was acquired by circuit protection market leader Bourns. Witham has also held VP Sales & Marketing positions at Aegis Semiconductor, a tunable filter semiconductor manufacturer and Genoa, a semiconductor optical amplifier manufacturer. Other notable career highlights include senior executive positions at Raychem, including General Manager of the Raychem Interconnect Division and Director of Asia Sales & Marketing, based in Japan, for the Raychem Circuit Protection Division. As an Engineering Specialist at General Dynamics’ Space System Division during the eighties, Witham designed fluid systems for the Space Shuttle and was on Mission Control for interplanetary missions. Witham holds an MBA from Harvard and both M.S. and B.S. with distinction in Mechanical Engineering from Stanford.
