My research lies at the intersection of geology, geochemistry, and decarbonization technologies, focusing on how the subsurface can be harnessed for sustainable energy production and long-term storage. I study fluid flow and fluid–rock interactions to understand the processes that govern the performance, stability, and integrity of geological reservoirs used for geothermal energy, CO₂ and hydrogen storage, and nuclear waste disposal. 

By integrating experimental research, subsurface data analysis, and numerical modeling, I aim to link fundamental geoscience with applied engineering challenges in the energy transition. My work explores how geological complexity—including mineral heterogeneity, structural evolution, and reactive processes—affects storage capacity and containment integrity in both sedimentary and crystalline systems. 

Recent studies have focused on Zechstein salt diapirs in the Netherlands, developing quantitative models of salt evolution and hydrochemical behavior to evaluate their geochemical and mechanical integrity for deep geological storage of radioactive waste.

Collaboration with colleagues and successful partnerships with industrial and national organizations have been instrumental in advancing this research.
