Biography
Murad Abuaisha is a researcher specializing in geothermal energy, underground gas storage, and transport mechanisms in porous and fractured media. His work focuses on numerical and experimental modeling of geo-energy systems, with particular expertise in the analysis of fluid-rock interactions, thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) processes, and hydraulic fracturing. His research addresses key challenges of the energy transition, such as the optimization of enhanced geothermal systems (EGS), the storage of CO₂ and hydrogen in saline cavities, and the dissolution and migration of gases in subsurface environments. His contributions include the development of coupled models to simulate multiphase flow, heat transfer, and mechanical deformation, applied at scales ranging from the laboratory to industrial reservoirs. His recent work also explores the impacts of thermal and mechanical stresses on the integrity of salt rocks and clay barriers, incorporating innovative approaches such as digital image correlation to characterize deformations.
