== Peter K. Kang ==
I am a research affiliate at MIT and an assistant professor at the University of Minnesota. I received PhD from MIT in 2014 and worked as a postdoctoral associate in the [[http://erl.mit.edu|Earth Resources Laboratory]] at MIT from 2014 to 2015. I obtained BSc of Civil, Urban & Geosystem engineering at Seoul National University with summa cum laude in 2008. 

Please visit my personal homepage for more details: '''[[http://pkkang.com|Peter's homepage]]'''

RESEARCH AREA:
 * Anomalous Transport: Developing an effective transport theory for anomalous transport through porous and fractured media across multiple scales.
 * Joint Inversion for subsurface characterization: Developing inversion methodologies that integrates multiple sources of data for subsurface imaging.
 * Coupled flow-geomechanics: Investigating coupling between fluid flow properties with geomechanical properties.
 * Reactive Transport: Investigating the interplay between flow, transport and geochemical reactions.

I combine theory, numerical modeling, laboratory and field experiments to tackle research problems across multiple scales.
