Characterization and Monitoring
Our research aims to develop next-generation solutions to geomechanical challenges related to safeguarding and decarbonizing the built environment. We combine physics-based models, computational simulations, and data-driven methods to understand, predict, and control the responses of subsurface systems to loadings, fluid flows, temperature changes, and other phenomena.
