Mo AKBARIFOROUZ


Background

Mo is a PhD student in the EIT-PolyU collaborative program since 2022, focusing on deciphering fluid flow and solute transport within rock fractures. His research interests lie in the intersection of particle tracking, micro-CT, SEM images, rock mechanical experiments, numerical modeling, geophysical prospecting, microfluidic circuits, and in-situ tests to comprehend flow dynamics within rough discontinuities. Specifically, he is intrigued by the complexities of chemically or bacterially mediated rock discontinuities and the impacts of fault features on regional hydraulic behavior.
