معرفی
Kim Kiseok is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Petroleum Engineering at Texas A&M University, holding the Class of ’75 DVG Development Professorship. His research focuses on geologic carbon storage, rock-fluid interactions in geo-energy systems, and reservoir geomechanics. He leads projects addressing CO2 sequestration safety, caprock integrity, and subsurface fluid-rock dynamics.
Education:
- Ph.D., Civil Engineering, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (2022)
- M.S., Civil, Environmental, and Architectural Engineering, Korea University (2017)
- B.S., Civil, Environmental, and Architectural Engineering, Korea University (2015)
Research Interests: Combines experimental and computational methods to study CO2 storage mechanisms, rock deformation under fluid injection, and long-term reservoir stability. Key themes include geomechanical response modeling, fluid-rock interaction dynamics, and geobarrier engineering for enhanced carbon sequestration.
Key Article Trends: Recent work emphasizes CO2-induced rock behavior, caprock integrity under pressure, and coupled hydro-mechanical-chemical processes in subsurface reservoirs. Studies span simulation-based geobarrier design, laboratory experiments on mudrock permeability, and thermal effects on shale in nuclear waste contexts.
Awards & Grants: No awards explicitly mentioned, but his work is supported by grants focusing on geologic storage innovation and reservoir engineering challenges.
Labs & Teams: Leads the Texas A&M Geomechanics & Carbon Storage Lab, collaborating with industry partners on subsurface fluid management solutions.
