Kiley Baird, PhD

Kiley Baird is a geothermal reservoir engineer at Teverra, where she specializes in subsurface numerical simulation across the full spectrum of geothermal applications, from resource assessment through production optimization and wellbore modeling. She also has experience in subsurface reservoir characterization and 3D geological modeling.

She holds a PhD in Geoenergy Engineering from Heriot-Watt University, where her research focused on hot sedimentary aquifers, developing innovative and computationally efficient workflows to understand how multi-scale geological heterogeneity influences reservoir performance under uncertainty. Her doctoral work bridged detailed geological conceptual models with practical reservoir simulations to support robust decision-making.

Kiley also holds an M.Sc. in Geoenergy from the University of Edinburgh and a B.Sc. in Environmental Sciences from Oregon State University. She is passionate about advancing geothermal energy and is an active member of Women in Geothermal (WING).
