Research

Kang Research Group investigates coupled flow processes in porous and fractured media across scales. By combining cutting-edge research tools, we advance fundamental science as well as provide practical solutions to water, energy, and climate change issues.

Examples of ongoing research projects are (see below for details):

• Predicting transport, mixing, and reaction in porous and fractured media

• Mineral dissolution and precipitation & In situ carbon mineralization

• Microbes in porous and fractured media & In-situ bioremediation of contaminated fractured aquifers

• Variable density flows in fractured media & Enhanced geothermal systems

• Characterization of fractured and karst aquifers

• Managed aquifer recharge (Aquifer storage and recovery & infiltration basins)

• Surface water-Groundwater interactions & Hyporheic flow
