On 10/06/21, Amanzhol Kubeyev successfully defended his PhD thesis “Development of computational modelling methods for solid and fluid mechanics in rough fractures and application for stress-permeability relationship”. Congratulations, Dr. Kubeyev. Well deserved!

Let me take this opportunity to thank Prof Christopher McDermott (University of Edinburgh) and Dr Sabine den Hartog (Heriot-Watt University) for scrutinizing his work and Prof Andreas Busch and Dr Christine Maier for the co-supervision at Heriot-Watt, as well as Prof Knut-Andreas Lie, Dr Xavier Raynaud and Dr Halvor Møll Nilsen for hosting Amanzhol during a research visit at SINTEF, Oslo and the DETECT modelling team from Shell Dr Niko Kampmann, Dr Kevin Bisdom and Dr Jeroen Snippe as well as Dr Karin de Borst for the great discussions during Aman’s journey.
