Postdoctoral Associate

Energy Science & Engineering

Stanford University

I am a postdoctoral associate working with Prof. Hamdi Tchelepi in the Department of Energy Science & Engineering at Stanford University. I completed my Ph.D. under the supervision of Dr. Bo Guo at the University of Arizona. My research focuses on pore-scale modeling of multiphase fluid flow, multispecies transport, and thermodynamic phase-change behaviors in geological and manufactured porous materials.

My current applications include vadose-zone PFAS contamination, soil water evaporation and heat transfer, shale gas/oil production, geological hydrogen storage, and next-generation rechargeable batteries.
