معرفی
Dr. Gang Wang is an Assistant Professor in the Institute for GeoEnergy Engineering at Heriot-Watt University, serving as Theme Lead for Underground Hydrogen Storage at the Net-Zero Global Research Institute (iNetZ+). He holds a PhD in CCUS and MSc in Reservoir Evaluation from Heriot-Watt, with prior experience as a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow and Reservoir Engineer at CNPC.
His research focuses on numerical simulation of subsurface gas systems (H₂, CH₄, CO₂), addressing multiscale multiphysics processes. He collaborates with European/UK industries to develop field-scale hydrogen storage solutions. Key expertise includes reservoir engineering, geochemical interactions, and bio-geochemical modeling for reservoir selection.
Notable contributions include studies on microbial activity impacts, cushion gas design for hydrogen storage, and CO₂-WAG displacement mechanisms. He serves on EAGE committees and delivers short courses on hydrogen storage reservoir engineering.
