The MuPhi Research Group investigates flow phenomena in porous materials in the context of subsurface energy systems.

We strive to answer questions of relevance to society and industry by adapting the complexity of physical, mathematical, chemical and geological models balancing accuracy and feasibility.

We bridge spatial scales from microns to kilometers and temporal scales from milliseconds to centuries.
