Our next online course, “PORE 2-8.1: Multiscale modeling and simulation of fractured porous rocks: Simulation science for sustainable geosciences, from CO2 and H2 storage to geothermal energy” will be lectured by Hadi Hajibeygi (Delft University of Technology). The course begins on January 15 at 10:00 CET. 

The increasing demand for accurate and efficient simulation of multiphase flow, heat transfer and mechanics in subsurface formations motivates the development of advanced computational methods which are not only accurate but also amenable to uncertainty quantification. The non-linear, heterogeneous, uncertain, dynamic and coupled nature of the mathematical formulations make such developments challenging, yet possible if a multiscale methodology is properly devised for the components of the coupled system.

Hadi Hajibeygi is a professor of Geo-Energy Solid and Fluid Mechanics at Delft University of Technology. His research centers around advancing modeling and simulation sciences for processes in geological reservoirs – both experimental and computational, specially addressing multiscale heterogeneity and uncertainties across scales. Hadi holds a PhD with medal from ETH Zurich in Fluid Dynamics and was a Postdoc Scholar at Stanford University Energy Resources Engineering before joining TU Delft in 2013. The applications of his research include underground hydrogen storage science and technology, as well as carbon dioxide storage and well as geothermal energy exploitation.
