Using the subsurface for the benefit of society
Improved understanding of flow processes in the subsurface is essential for addressing global water, energy, and climate crisis. Peter Kang and his group combine a range of methods (lab and field experiments, numerical simulations, and machine learning) to investigate reactive transport in porous media with applications in geologic carbon sequestration, enhanced geothermal systems, and groundwater management and remediation. He mentors a large team of students and post-docs, and publishes in the top journals in his field. Peter’s group actively collaborates with state hydrogeologists to address pressing groundwater issues in Minnesota, and also with high school teachers for K-12 education
