Assistant Professor of Petroleum Engineering

My research interests include novel rock breakage and fracture for subsurface resource recovery, data-driven and physics-based multiphysics modeling in porous and fractured media, and granular material flow characterization and modeling. My research provides solutions for energy/minerals recovery & storage, material handling, and GeoHazards prediction.
