Research
My main field of work has been related to mathematical and numerical modeling of flow and transport in porous media. In my research work. I have been interested in up-scaling from pore- to continuum scale and further to field scale. A particular topic of interest has been Lagrangian-type methods for advection-dominated (hyperbolic) transport. I have also been interested in pore-scale modeling. More recently, I have worked on modeling of geological storage of CO2. A main challenge has been to derive efficient numerical methods to predict the distribution and migration of a CO2-plume under different storage scenarios. Important questions are to derive and identify as physically simple models as possible, and still capture the main features of the processes.
