Research Topic(s)

Natural/shale gas production; Reservoir geo-mechanics and geo-engineering; Energy and water supply chain

Research Summary

My research interests cover various topics of groundwater hydrology and contaminant transport. I am recently interested in: (1) Dynamics of horizontal wells and its applications in hydrosciences and environmental engineering; (2) Flow and transport in low-permeability porous media; (3) Non-Darcian flow in porous and fractured media and its impact on transport; (4) Vapor flow and transport; and (5) Groundwater quality problems associated with shale gas production and CO₂ sequestration.
