Ali H. Dogru (born September 29, 1945) is an American engineering and mathematician. He is known for his work on hydrocarbon reservoir simulation.

In 2017, Dogru was elected a member of the National Academy of Engineering for "the development of high-performance computing in hydrocarbon reservoir simulation".

Education
Ali Dogru earned his Bachelor's and Master's degree in petroleum engineering from the Istanbul Technical University in 1968. He received his Ph.D. degree in petroleum engineering and applied mathematics at University of Texas - Austin in 1974.

Professional background
Wheeler studies finite element analysis and porous media problems with applications in engineering, oil-field exploitation, and the cleaning up of environmental pollution. Her early work consisted of fundamental contributions to finite element methods and numerical analysis. She then moved into porous media problems, using her numerical expertise to study problems in the oil industry such as managing oil-field extraction. She also studies environmental problems such as cleaning up underground reservoirs, spills of toxic waste, and carbon dioxide sequestration. In addition, Wheeler has worked with the United States Army Corps of Engineers on environmental impact in the Chesapeake Bay, Delaware Bay, and Florida Bay.

On the matter of pure versus applied math, Wheeler has been noted to say "To me it is important to see your work used. I do abstract things as well, and I don't know if I will live to see them applied."

Wheeler worked at the Rice University from 1971 to 1995, with a two-year hiatus at University of Houston from 1988–90. In 1995 she moved to the University of Texas at Austin where she serves as the director of the Center for Subsurface Modeling at the Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences. She is a Professional Engineer registered with the State of Texas, 1999. In 1989, she gave the prestigious Noether Lecture for the Association for Women in Mathematics in Phoenix, Arizona. Her talk was titled "Large Scale Modeling of Problems Arising in Flow in Porous Media".
