Muloh Gariba Sheron, born in 1992, has a strong academic and professional background in geology, mining, and petroleum engineering. She began her studies in Cameroon and earned a BSc in Geology in 2013, followed by a diploma in Mining Techniques from Confederation College (2017) and an Associate Degree in Mining Engineering from Haileybury School of Mines (2018). She worked as an Exploration Geologist with Goldcorp Inc. (now Newmont Mining Corporation) before completing her MSc in Petroleum and Natural Gas Engineering at Near East University in 2021.
Currently, she is a Ph.D. candidate, Instructor, and Research Assistant at Near East University. Her academic interests include hydraulic fracturing optimization, geomechanics, unconventional hydrocarbon recovery, and reservoir simulation. She is skilled in using Gohfer and Fracpro for advanced fracture modeling and performance evaluation. She also mentors undergraduate students and contributes to curriculum development.
Sheron recently co-authored a peer-reviewed chapter titled “Effects of Frac Fluid and Proppant on Hydraulic Fracture Geometry and Production: Taylor Sandstone Case, Texas” in Springer’s Environmental Earth Sciences series (2025), part of the NRSEM 2023 conference proceedings. Her long-term goal is to bridge the gap between academic research and real-world energy challenges.
