Experimental rock physics

Quantifying dynamic processes in fractured rock.

I use laboratory experiments and advanced imaging to simulate subsurface conditions and quantify how fractures evolve under dynamic processes.

Research Themes

Fractured rock Elastic, hydraulic, and frictional behavior under dynamic stressing. Reactive transport & CO₂ Storage Chemo-mechanical coupling, mineralization, and reaction-driven cracking. Subsurface Deformation & Surface Uplift Co-evolution of subsurface deformation and surface uplift in the Delaware Basin. Contact-line Dynamics Fluid spreading instabilities and deposition of spreading volatile mixtures.
