Mohammad Nooraiepour

Mohammad Nooraiepour is a Researcher at the Department of Geosciences, University of Oslo. He holds a PhD in Mathematics and Natural Sciences from the University of Oslo (2015-2018), an M.Sc. in Petroleum Engineering and Geosciences from Gubkin Russian State University (2012-2014), and earlier degrees from Iranian institutions. His research focuses on fluid-rock interactions in porous media, CO2 storage, and petrophysical properties of geological materials.

He leads projects such as 'Understanding coupled mineral dissolution and precipitation in reactive subsurface environments' (2023-2025, NOCC-funded) and 'Polish-Norwegian CCS Network' (2023-2024, EEA-funded). He is Chair of the Students Affairs Committee (SAC) at InterPore and co-chair of the InterPore Young Academy. His work integrates experimental, numerical, and field-based approaches to address challenges in carbon capture and hydrogen storage.

Research interests include: CO2-brine-rock interactions, salt precipitation dynamics, mineral nucleation and growth, and geomechanical properties of caprocks. He has contributed to courses like GEO4/9250 (Reservoir Geology) and GEO4/9260 (Reservoir Geophysics). Current projects explore CCS in saline aquifers, hydrogen storage in reservoirs, and basalt-mineralization processes.

His lab work involves microfluidic experiments and numerical simulations to study pore-scale phenomena. He collaborates with institutions worldwide, including the FME SUCCESS Centre and the Grieg Program. Future research aims to enhance subsurface energy storage solutions and climate mitigation technologies.
