Interests
Thermodynamics in relation to energy and the environment
CO2 phase behaviour: in mixtures with reservoir fluids (e.g., enhanced-oil recovery); in aqueous systems; in mixtures with electrolytes (e.g., for sequestration in saline aquifers)
Organic Rankine cycles, and related devices for the conversion of waste heat to useful energy
Statistical thermodynamics and phase equilibria
Molecular-based equations of state, e.g., SAFT, and their development
Industrial gas-polymer systems
Liquid-crystal systems
Intermolecular potentials and their influence on mixtures and phase equilibria
Flow assurance
Thermodynamic modelling of gas hydrates for application in reservoir / flow simulations
Thermodynamic modelling of crude-oil systems, with particular emphasis on asphaltenes and asphaltene precipitation
Atomistic (molecular dynamics (MD) and Monte Carlo (MC)) and mesoscale (coarse-grained MD and kinetic-MC / finite-element) simulations
Adsorption of fluids on solid surfaces
Multiscale and hierarchical simulations
