Ruben Juanes

Ruben Juanes is a Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. His research focuses on computational geoscience and engineering, particularly the physics of multiphase flow in porous media with applications in energy and environmental systems. His work integrates theory, simulation, and experiments to understand multi-fluid flow through rocks, soils, and other porous materials. Juanes' research addresses large-scale Earth science problems, including geological carbon sequestration, methane hydrates, and ecohydrology of arid environments. He is also involved in teaching courses related to porous media flow and carbon capture and storage.

Ruben Juanes is a professor at MIT whose research focuses on Flow in Porous Media, Multiphase Flow, CO2 Sequestration, Geomechanics, and Induced Seismicity. His work explores the dynamics of multiphase flow in porous media, with applications to carbon capture and storage, subsurface fluid dynamics, and geomechanical responses to fluid injection. Juanes has published extensively on topics such as relative permeability hysteresis, wettability effects, and the stability of coupled flow and geomechanics models. His research also addresses the long-term behavior of CO2 in saline aquifers and the impact of fluid mixing on subsurface processes.
