Research Overview
Subsurface deformation of brittle rocks. Three-dimensional geomechanics research. Advanced numerical simulation of fracture, fragmentation, and fluid flow in fracture networks. Geometric analysis, evolving geometries, and formation of patterns. Permeability, geomechanically realistic modelling of fractures and flow.
