Ruben Juanes is a professor with a strong emphasis on computational geoscience and engineering, specifically focusing on the physics of multiphase flow in porous media. His research aims to advance the fundamental understanding and predictive capabilities of simultaneous flow of fluids in rocks, soils, and porous materials. His group integrates theoretical work, simulations, and experimental approaches to address complex multi-fluid flows and apply these insights to large-scale Earth science challenges, including energy, environmental issues, geological carbon sequestration, methane hydrates, and ecohydrology in arid environments. In education, he teaches courses on Structural Soil Mechanics, Groundwater Hydrology, Computational Methods for Flow in Porous Media, and Carbon Capture and Storage: Science, Technology and Policy. He has received numerous awards in recognition of his contributions to geoscience, including the Kimberly-Clark Distinguished Lectureship Award and being named a Fellow by the American Physical Society. His published works cover a range of topics including fluid dynamics in porous media, gas production forecasting in shale, and carbon capture and storage mechanisms.
