معرفی
Ji-Quan Shi is a Research Fellow in the Department of Earth Science & Engineering at Imperial College London's Faculty of Engineering. His affiliations include the Energy Futures Lab, Minerals, Energy and Environmental Engineering, and Petroleum Geoscience and Engineering. His research focuses on geomechanical and coupled THM (thermo-hydro-mechanical) modeling for CO2 storage, geothermal energy systems, and mining-induced seismicity. Key interests include induced seismicity risk assessment, reservoir simulation, and fracture mechanics in subsurface energy systems.
Education background not explicitly stated in text, but his expertise spans geoscience, civil engineering, and environmental systems. Research areas emphasize interdisciplinary approaches to subsurface energy challenges, including carbon capture and storage (CCS), geothermal reservoir management, and coal mining hazards.
His work combines field observations, numerical modeling, and laboratory experiments to address challenges like CO2 plume tracking, fault activation mechanisms, and microseismic event forecasting. Recent studies focus on Iceland's geothermal fields (Hellisheiði) and North African CO2 storage sites (In Salah). He has pioneered methods for integrating microseismic data with reservoir models to improve safety and efficiency in subsurface operations.
Notable contributions include probabilistic frameworks for hazardous microseismicity prediction in coal mines and coupled modeling of thermal effects on induced seismicity. His research also explores innovative monitoring technologies like distributed fiber optic sensing for CO2 plume tracking.
