Summary
PhD student in the Petroleum Engineering & Rock Mechanics Group working on numerical modelling of fracture processes around underground boreholes and tunnels.
My project is funded by the Swedish Nuclear Fuel and Waste Management Company (SKB), and will contribute towards a safe, long-term geological disposal facility for nuclear waste.
