Ruben Juanes is a member of the MIT faculty in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering since 2006, with a joint appointment in the Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences since 2017. He earned his Ingeniero de Caminos from the University of La Coruna, Spain, in 1997, and completed graduate studies at UC Berkeley, earning his MS in 1999 and PhD in 2003. Juanes specializes in computational geoscience, focusing on the physics of multiphase flow in porous media, particularly in energy and environmental applications. His research advances the understanding and predictive capabilities of simultaneous fluid flow in rocks, soils, and porous materials. His research group combines theory, simulations, and experiments to elucidate fundamental aspects of multi-fluid flow and apply predictions to large-scale Earth science problems related to energy and environment, including geological carbon sequestration and ecohydrology in arid environments.
