Munhong (Robin) Hui is a senior reservoir modeling and simulation expert with more than 20 years of experience developing and deploying advanced subsurface technologies for complex carbonate and unconventional reservoirs.

Robin joined ResFrac after a long tenure at Chevron, where he served as a Senior Research Scientist and Product Owner, leading the development of upscaling, reservoir simulation, history-matching, and optimization workflows used to support critical asset decisions.

Robin’s work focuses on physics-based and data-driven modeling of fluid flow in fractured reservoirs, including coupled flow–geomechanics. He has made significant contributions to discrete fracture modeling and data–physics hybrid approaches, authoring numerous peer-reviewed publications in these areas. His work bridges fundamental research and practical deployment, with an emphasis on scalable, production-ready solutions.

Robin is an active member of the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE), where he serves on a local Section Board and multiple Conference Technical Program Committees. He has received an SPE Regional Award in Reservoir Description & Dynamics and has served on the U.S. Department of Energy’s Methane Hydrate Advisory Committee. He also holds several patents related to reservoir modeling and simulation technologies.

He holds a Ph.D. in Petroleum Engineering from Stanford University and a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from the National University of Singapore.

Outside of work, Robin enjoys playing tennis, hiking, biking, cooking, and gardening.
