For students considering GPE Laboratory.
We study subsurface energy and environmental challenges through geomechanics.
FOR PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS
Considering GPE Laboratory?
When choosing a laboratory, it is useful to look not only at research topics, but also at how the research is conducted and communicated.
Research areas
Our work covers CCS, next-generation geothermal systems, underground hydrogen storage, wellbore stability, sand production, hydraulic fracturing, acidizing, and related coupled subsurface processes.
Research approaches
We combine numerical simulation with laboratory experiments, field-data analysis, and collaborative research with industry where appropriate.
Communication & exchange
Laboratory activities include presentations at domestic and international conferences, publications, and research exchange with universities overseas.
