Subsurface heterogeneity strongly influences groundwater flow, heat transfer, and solute transport. My research focuses on developing inversion methods to characterize subsurface heterogeneity by integrating multiple data sources, with applications to geothermal reservoir and uranium-bearing aquifers.

Focus Areas:

Aquifer characterization, Reactive transport modeling
