معرفی
Associate Professor Dom Wolff-Boenisch is affiliated with Curtin University's School of Earth and Planetary Sciences (EPS) within the Faculty of Science and Engineering. He holds an office in the Provost's portfolio. His research focuses on geochemical processes related to CO2 and hydrogen storage in subsurface environments, particularly in basaltic formations. Key areas include carbon mineralization, hydrogen-wettability of clays, and thermodynamic modeling of subsurface reactions.
Wolff-Boenisch has contributed significantly to projects like the CarbFix initiative in Iceland, which aims to permanently store CO2 in basalt. His work bridges experimental geology (e.g., column reactors, flow-through systems) with applied engineering for climate mitigation. He has over 150+ publications, including studies on gypsum crystal growth kinetics and carbonate dissolution dynamics.
He also engages in pedagogical research, such as analyzing student perceptions of online learning. His lab facilities include specialized tools like syringe samplers for CO2-rich fluid analysis and high-pressure experimental setups.
