Summary

Summary

I am a Research Associate in the pore-scale modelling and imaging group at Imperial College London, working on the PETRONAS Project. In collaboration with Professor Martin Blunt and Dr. Branko Bijeljic, my research concentrates on understanding the behaviours and mechanisms of multiphase flow in CO₂ storage within reservoirs, employing pore-scale imaging techniques.

Research Interest

Multiphase flow in porous media; Pore-scale imaging techniques; Geological CO₂ sequestration; Reactive flow
