Scholarship

My research interests lie primarily in the multiscale nature and the fundamental physics of flow dynamics in the context of the subsurface. My aim is to incorporate the ever-changing nature of these systems in the simplest form possible without sacrificing adequate representation of all verifiable data. My work has included experimentation (tomography, microfluidics) and data analysis, and development of general mathematical frameworks motivated and verified by physical observations.

My specific interests broadly include: multiphase flow in permeable media, multiscale formulations of hierarchical permeable media, physics of flow instabilities, mathematical models and numerical methods, CO2 foam stabilization using nanoparticles, and utilization and geologic storage of CO2.
