My current research focuses on compositional modeling of unconventional reservoirs. I am working on an in-house compositional simulator to investigate the complex multiphase and multicomponent behaviors during gas injection in tight oil reservoirs. I used to work on experiments to study the fascinating transport process in porous media, e.g., gas slippage using nanofluidics, stress-dependent permeability using coreflood. Feel free to reach out if you had questions or need the paper I authored. You can also follow me on Google Scholar.
