Poromechanics laboratory led by Prof. Hyoung Suk Suh aims to address global challenges associated with extreme climate events and demanding energy resources that require significant advances in our understanding and predictive capability of multi-physical coupling mechanisms across spatial and temporal scales. Our vision is to develop synergetic engineering technologies for geohazard mitigations and energy systems that meet societal needs. Our research group is directed towards energy and environmental geotechnics through the lens of theoretical and computational poromechanics that combines first principles and phenomenological observations to predict the behavior of a wide range of natural and engineered materials. In specific, we focus on the multi-physical coupling effects to understand how multi-phase material responds under the influence of stress, deformation, flow regimes, temperature, phase transition, and damage evolution which may lead to better engineering solutions.
