Research Professional I

Research Interests | I am broadly interested in the fundamental physics of fluid flow and transport in environmental and energy systems in Earth's subsurface. My current research focuses on micro-scale (i.e., pore-scale) modeling of multiphase fluid flow, transport, and thermodynamic phase change behaviors in geological porous media. The specific application of my research is to study the transport of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) in the vadose zone and the production of gas/oil from shale formations.
