My ongoing work is to develop and apply the high-fidelity, robust computational tools in a massively parallel computing framework to conduct the cutting-edge research on subsurface energy systems and geologic materials. Specific studies range from reservoir-scale simulations of multiphysics in enhanced geothermal systems and carbon storage systems to modeling of geomaterials with excessive deformation under highly dynamic loading.
