Biography
Chuanyin Jiang, PhD, is a Researcher in Geohydrology at the Department of Earth Sciences, Uppsala University. He received his PhD in Earth and Water Sciences from the University of Montpellier (CNRS–Hydrosciences Montpellier), and an MSc in Oil and Gas Field Development Engineering as well as a BEng in Petroleum Engineering from China University of Petroleum (East China).
Research
My research focuses on modeling thermo–hydro–mechanical–chemical (THMC) coupled processes in fractured geological media to improve predictive capabilities for a wide range of geoscience and geoengineering applications, including nuclear waste disposal, geothermal energy systems, and fracture evolution in chemically reactive rocks.
My main research interests include:
(i) Stochastic generation and data-constrained conditional simulation of three-dimensional fracture networks.
(ii) Stress-controlled flow and solute transport in fractured media, including upscaling approaches based on particle random-walk methods.
(iii) Reactive transport in fractured media, including mineral dissolution and precipitation, permeability evolution, and their two-way coupling with geomechanical deformation.
(iv) Heat transport in fractured media and its interaction with stress conditions and fracture network geometry.
