Peter K. Kang serves as Associate Professor & Gibson Chair of Hydrogeology in the Department of Earth & Environmental Sciences at the University of Minnesota. His research is affiliated with the St. Anthony Falls Laboratory and the Kang Research Group.
Dr. Kang's research focuses on the physics of flow and reactive transport in porous and fractured media. His work combines theory, high-performance numerical simulations, machine learning, and visual laboratory experiments to understand how coupled processes control mixing and reactive transport across spatial scales (from pore to field scale). His research has applications in groundwater management, subsurface energy systems, and environmental protection.
Current research opportunities include undergraduate projects in microfluidics laboratory experiments to visualize groundwater processes and fieldwork to characterize fractured aquifers. Dr. Kang is actively accepting both undergraduate and graduate research students into his research group.
His methodological approach integrates multiple disciplines, with particular emphasis on developing predictive models for practical environmental applications through the innovative combination of computational methods and experimental validation.
