Current Research

Develop coupled multiphysics models for high-rate stimulation technologies that generate complex fracture networks, enhance permeability, and expand subsurface reaction surfaces.

Connect pore-network structure and solid deformation to Haines jump dynamics, fluid trapping, and predictive multiphase-flow closure laws.

Investigate the coupled mechanisms that can generate significant seismic events after subsurface fluid injection has stopped.

Develop high-fidelity, GPU-accelerated models for fracture growth, transport, closure, and residual aperture in coupled porous media.

Combine coupled reservoir physics and machine learning to quantify storage performance and manage risk in subsurface thermal energy systems.
