- CO2-brine-rock interactions (hydro-mechanical-chemical)
- Nucleation, mineral precipitation, and crystal growth
-
Petrophysics, rock physics and geomechanics
Current projects
2023-2025: Project manager and co-PI for "Understanding coupled mineral dissolution and precipitation in reactive subsurface environments", funded by Norwegian Centennial Chair (NOCC), U Oslo and U Minnesota collaboration.
2023-2024: UiO PI for "Acceleration of Climate Change Mitigation Technologies Deployment: Polish-Norwegian CCS Network", funded by EEA and Norway Grants.
2020-2024: Co-PI and contact point at UiO for "Solid and salt precipitation kinetics during CO2 injection into reservoir" project (SaltPreCO2), funded by Norway Grants via Grieg Program (Polish National Science Centre & Research Council of Norway)
2021-2024: "Clean offshore energy by hydrogen storage in petroleum reservoirs" project (Hystorm), funded by the Research Council of Norway under the PETROMAKS2 Program (Large Program for Petroleum Research)
Other scientific activities
I am elected Chair of the Students Affairs Committee (SAC) of the International Society of Porous Media (InterPore). I serve as the youngest member of the InterPore Council, and one of the InterPore Young Academy co-chairs. I also teamed up with a group of young porous media researchers from leading institutions worldwide to create and organize the Porous Media Tea Time Talks (#PorusMediaTTT) initiative for PhDs and early career researchers.
