H. Hajibeygi

H. Hajibeygi is an Associate Professor in the Department of Reservoir Engineering at Delft University of Technology's School of Civil Engineering & Geosciences. His work focuses on multiscale modeling, subsurface energy storage, and computational physics applied to geological reservoirs.

• Education: PhD from Stanford University (2013), MSc from ETH Zürich (2011)

Research interests span porous media dynamics, fractured geological formations, and geo-energy applications. He develops advanced numerical methods like finite volume and multiscale extended finite element approaches for subsurface fluid flow and mechanical coupling. Recent projects include CO₂ sequestration and hydrogen storage in saline aquifers.

His 2025 publications emphasize compositional modeling, dynamic multilevel methods, and hysteresis in multiphase flow, reflecting a focus on improving computational efficiency for complex subsurface systems.
