Research in our group interfaces between Chemical, Environment, and Petroleum Engineering, mathematics, and data science. An important strategy in moving toward less emission is improving the efficiency and lifetime of energy storage systems and ideally designing new energy storage systems with improved properties. For early prediction of flow and transport properties, different lengths, and time scales, as well as different physics across different scales, should be accounted for. In our group we will use machine learning and multiscale modeling methods for solving the above daunting problems. Our group will also focus on developing physics-guided machine learning methods that can integrate physical laws and available data at small- and large-scale systems. We will apply state of the art machine learning techniques to such systems. One objective is to discover the physics when large data is available, and the physical laws are not well known and the other is to find patterns in the data by integrating known physics into data-driven methods.
