معرفی
Hannah Menke is an Associate Professor at the School of Energy, Geoscience, Infrastructure and Society at Heriot-Watt University, affiliated with the Institute for GeoEnergy Engineering. Her research focuses on pore-scale processes in porous media, including CO₂ storage, multiphase flow dynamics, and reactive transport in geological reservoirs. She specializes in integrating experimental imaging, computational modeling, and machine learning to address challenges in subsurface energy systems.
Key areas of expertise include:
- CO₂ storage and leakage mechanisms
- Hydrogen storage in porous media
- Digital rock physics and multiscale modeling
- Reactive dissolution and mineral precipitation
Recent work emphasizes developing hybrid models for permeability estimation and surrogate modeling techniques for geothermal reservoirs. She has published extensively on topics like pore-scale imaging of fluid interactions and deep-learning approaches for reactive transport prediction.
Her contributions span over 44 peer-reviewed articles since 2014, with notable collaborations in carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS), geothermal energy, and subsurface hydrogen storage. She actively supervises PhD students in these areas and maintains a lab focused on advanced imaging and simulation workflows.
