Areas of Research

We study the physics of multiphase fluid flow in porous media,
and its application to energy-related problems.

The group currently has four major areas of research:

• Phase-field models of multiphase flow
• Geological CO2 sequestration
• Gas hydrates in marine sediments and permafrost
• Flow through fractured porous media

  Phase-field Models	CO2 Sequestration	Gas Hydrates	Flow in Fractures

Our research is sponsored by the US Department of Energy, Eni Sp.A., Schlumberger, the ARCO Chair, the Winslow Chair, the McClelland Fund, the Reed Fund, the Hayashi Fund, and the MIT Energy Initiative. We are very grateful for their support.
