Dr. Ryan Haagenson

My research interests emcompass a wide range of topics related to subsurface science focused on simulating fluid flow and coupled processes. At TU Delft, I will study novel numerical methods for simualting multiphase flow in fracture porous media with applications to underground hydrogen storage (UHS) and geologic carbon sequestration (GCS). I simply enjoying finding innovative and insightful solutions to challenging geoscientific problems. 

My current and previous research topics include:

• Numerical simulation of multiphase, multicomponent flow problems related to UHS and GCS technologies. 
• Geomechanical risk assessment on the basin-scale for GCS using high-fidelity reservoir simulations and a Bayesian inference risk analysis framework. 
• Development of couple hydro-mechanical models for simulating single phase flow in field scale fractured reservoirs with insights into the spatiotemporal patterns of injection-induced seismicity. 
• Thermo-hydrologic simulations of permafrost dynamics in mountainous topography with applications in data-sparse regions of the Asian continent. 
• Thermo-hydraulic simulation of ice sheets and glacier flow problems. 
• Reactive transport modelling for studying long-term hill-slope degredation due to surface water percolation.
