UKCCSRC International Collaboration Fund - Dr Ronny Pini

Dr Ronny Pini was awarded the UKCCSRC International Collaboration Fund to spend 5 weeks in California involving Stanford Uni & Lawrence Berkeley Lab

Dr Ronny Pini QCCSRC Lecturer in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Imperial College London. I was awarded the UKCCSRC International Collaboration Fund (Call 3) to spend five weeks in California as part of a joint research collaboration involving Stanford University (with Sally Benson) and the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab (with Jim O’Neil and Nick Vandehey). The goal of the visit was to carry out a series of experiments to study solute mixing and spreading in reservoir rocks by applying a novel - and very promising - experimental approach that combines two non-invasive imaging methods, namely X-ray Computed Tomography (X-ray CT) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET).
