Zaid Jangda is a Research Associate at Heriot-Watt University's Global Research Institutes within The Lyell Centre, specializing in subsurface energy storage and rock properties analysis. His work focuses on hydrogen storage mechanisms in geological formations and advanced rock imaging techniques.
His research interests center on hydrogen storage in geological formations, with expertise in pore-scale visualization of hydrogen behavior in sandstones and carbonates. Key methodologies include SEM-BEX imaging, wettability analysis, and capillary pressure measurements under subsurface conditions. His work addresses critical challenges in underground hydrogen storage, particularly how rock heterogeneities and wettability affect storage efficiency and safety.
Analysis of his publication record (2014-2025) reveals a strategic evolution from carbonate permeability research (2020) toward specialized hydrogen storage investigations (2023-2025). His most impactful work examines pore-scale hydrogen trapping mechanisms in sandstone, with high citation counts reflecting industry relevance. The research consistently bridges fundamental geoscience with practical energy storage applications, particularly relevant for clean energy transition efforts.
Zaid actively collaborates with international researchers including Menke, Singh, Busch, and Geiger across multiple high-impact publications. His work contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goal 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy) through advancements in subsurface hydrogen storage technology.
