I am currently a Staff Scientist in the Energy Geosciences Division at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). I received a BEng in Civil Engineering in 2010 and a PhD in Geotechnical Engineering in 2016. My research focuses on multiscale numerical modeling and machine learning for analyzing coupled thermal-hydro-mechanical-chemical (THMC) processes relevant to both fundamental Earth science and to subsurface engineering systems (e.g., nuclear waste disposal, geologic hydrogen production and storage, and geothermal energy). I am the sole developer of a series of novel numerical approaches and computer codes based on the numerical manifold method (NMM) and the extended finite volume method (XFVM). My research interests are continuously broadening with my increased understanding of numerical modeling, machine learning, Earth and planetary science, and energy geosciences applications.
