OUR STORY

Research

Overarching Objectives​

• Elucidate molecular-level phenomena that govern the formation, aggregation, and stability of interfacial and network structures in multi-phase fluids, and

• Control their development and effects on macroscopic rheology and transport processes.

Thrust I

Asphaltene Adsorption, Aggregation, and Interfacial Effects

Thrust II

Formation and Control of Gas Hydrate Slurries

Thrust III

Drilling Fluids and Mechanisms of Particle Sedimentation

Thrust IV

Phase-Change-Material Nanoemulsions for Energy Transport and Storage
