APPLES Research Group

The physics of fluids in rock, put to work for a low-carbon world. We build experiments, models, and data-driven tools to understand how fluids move and react in porous media.

About the group

Integrated research for subsurface energy and environmental systems

Welcome to the Applied Physiochemical Processes Lab for Energy and Environmental Systems (APPLES). We advance low-carbon energy technologies through integrated studies of fluid flow and reactions in porous media, providing the fundamental insight needed to transform natural and engineered systems responsibly.
