معرفی
Anne Pluymakers is an Assistant Professor at the Applied Geophysics and Petrophysics department of Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), with prior postdoctoral experience at both TU Delft (2018-2020) and the University of Oslo (2015-2017). Her research focuses on experimental rock mechanics and thermo-hydro-mechano-chemical (THMC) fluid-rock interaction, particularly investigating how mechanical and transport properties of rocks evolve under realistic subsurface conditions.
Education:
- Doctorate (2015) in Frictional and sealing behaviour of simulated anhydrite fault gouge, Universiteit Utrecht
- Master's (2010) in Earth Sciences, Universiteit Utrecht
- Bachelor's (2008) in Earth Sciences, Universiteit Utrecht
Her recent work spans CO2 storage, wellbore integrity, and microstructural analysis using neutron/X-ray imaging, with applications to geothermal energy and subsurface energy systems. Collaborative projects include Constraining uncertainties across scales and REFLECT, focusing on geoenergy transitions.
Scientific Awards:
- Veni grant, Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO), 2017
She actively contributes to public engagement, including media appearances on CO2 storage beneath the North Sea and educational initiatives like the Geo-resources for the future minor program.
