Multiscale study of multi-phase multi-physics porous materials

This research is ongoing, we have very preliminary results, including a pore scale study of CO2 flow in a real-rock microfluidics, where enzymatically-induced carbonate precipitation (or EICP) has eventually sealed the fracture, together with  a review article, recently released  on geothermal energy extraction and storage (the latter rather reservoir and urban/city scale):
