= Juanes Research Group =

We study the physics of multiphase fluid flow in porous media.<<BR>>
We apply our theoretical, computational and experimental research<<BR>>
to a variety of energy-driven geophysical problems, such as<<BR>>
geological carbon sequestration, methane hydrates, and petroleum recovery
