Research Interests

My research focuses on energy transition and the hydrogen economy, with an emphasis on underground hydrogen storage. I am also interested in well stimulation and production enhancement, polymer chemistry for oilfield applications, and strategies for mitigating oilfield scale and corrosion to improve reservoir performance.
