Mahyar Madadi Sinor is a Research Fellow at ANU, focusing on the physical properties of porous and granular media, as well as nano-flow phenomena governed by the Boltzmann Equation. His research integrates advanced computational methods with experimental data to investigate the microstructural and macroscopic behavior of complex materials. Key areas include digital rock physics, where he explores correlations between 3D imaging and petrophysical properties, and the simulation of fluid flow in fractured and porous systems. His work also addresses the mechanical response of granular materials under various loading conditions and the impact of polydispersity on their micromechanics. Additionally, he examines the feasibility of seismic monitoring for CO2 storage and the electrical properties of porous media.
