The overall goal of my research is to model, understand, and validate fundamental flow and transport behavior of subsurface fluids with applications to hydrocarbon recovery, carbon sequestration, groundwater remediation, and nuclear waste storage. I perform my research using advanced mathematical and computational tools (pore-scale models and reservoir simulation), but I also conduct experiments.My expertise is in pore-scale modeling, multiscale modeling, reservoir simulation, and enhanced oil recovery.
