I am interested in
poroelastic behavior of rocks, multiphase fluid flow in rock, and geodynamical
modeling.
I am currently pursuing applications of fiber-optic sensors
to monitoring deformation and temperature in underground
laboratories, in particular, the interim Deep Underground
Science and Engineering Laboratory (DUSEL) in the former
Homestake gold mine in the Black Hills of South Dakota.
Different poroelastic properties of rock, such as permeability and
specific storage, can be measured in my laboratory.
