Reservoir Physics
The Reservoir Physics research group focuses on鈥痬ultiphase flow in subsurface porous media, with applications in鈥痝eological carbon storage (CCS),鈥痷nderground hydrogen storage (UHS), and鈥痮il and gas production. Our research aims to improve the understanding of fluid-rock behavior in complex geological formations to support the development of sustainable and efficient subsurface energy systems.

About the research group
Our current work centers on experimental studies, numerical modeling, and simulation of flow processes relevant to energy transition technologies. We collaborate closely with national and international partners and integrate Master鈥檚 and PhD students into active research projects. Through this, we contribute to both scientific advancement and the education of the next generation of reservoir engineers and researchers.
Master鈥檚 Thesis Opportunities
We offer Master鈥檚 thesis projects primarily focused on鈥痝eological carbon storage (CCS),鈥痝as hydrates, and鈥痷nderground hydrogen storage (UHS). Projects can be鈥痚xperimental,鈥痬odeling-based, or鈥痵imulation-driven, depending on the student's interests and background.聽
Each Master鈥檚 project is embedded within an鈥痮ngoing research initiative, ensuring that students contribute to real-world challenges and cutting-edge developments in the field.聽
