Victor Yung, Ph.D. P.Eng.
Lead Engineer and Discipline Lead, Tubular Structures
Dr. Victor Yung contributes to Noetic strong skills in experimental and analytical engineering. His broad background has allowed him to contribute in a number of Noetic’s business areas: numerical analysis of strain-based casing performance in thermal enhanced oil recovery applications, experimental assessment and numerical modelling of casing material properties, experimental evaluation of premium seal performance, and development of Noetic’s casing deformation interpretation software (Wellbore Inspector). Victor currently leads Noetic’s Tubular Structures group, managing and providing technical direction for client projects.
Victor joined Noetic in 2004 after completing his Doctoral degree at the University of Cambridge. His research examined high frequency forces generated by automotive shock absorbers. The results of the work included: empirical characterization of non-linear response for frequencies up to 500 Hz, a refined non-linear mathematical model with improved accuracy in predicting high frequency forces, and methods of assessing model accuracy at different frequencies using spectral and wavelet analysis. Prior to his doctoral research, Victor worked two years in the automotive industry developing components and systems for electric and hybrid vehicles. Victor also holds Bachelor (1994) and Master of Science (1997) degrees in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Alberta .
Victor is the proud father of two young children. When he eventually finds some spare time, his personal interests include archery, photography, and tuning his 1988 Mazda 323 GTX.
