Sanghyun Lee

Dr. Sanghyun Lee is an Associate Professor of Mathematics specializing in computational methods for multi-physics problems in porous media. His research develops mathematical frameworks for coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical-chemical processes.

Core research areas include:

• Phase-field fracture propagation in complex media
• Enriched Galerkin methods with local conservation properties
• Data assimilation for subsurface flow systems

Recent publications present novel techniques for fracture modeling in porous media and thermo-poroelasticity simulations. Applications span energy resource recovery, geological storage, and environmental engineering.

The research integrates high-performance computing with finite element methods to model multi-scale phenomena. Dr. Lee develops open-source simulation tools for scientific and industrial applications.
