PhD thesis “cotutelle” between Ecole Centrale de Nantes and Univeristé de Liège.
The objectives of the research activity will be the formulation and the numerical implementation of a suitable poro-hydro-chemo-mechanical model to describe coupled processes occurring at the interface between a reservoir aquifer rock where CO2 is injected and stored, and the confining caprock, which should guarantee the sealing of the reservoir.
Application – Detailed CV including transcript of records of current master formation and cover letter
are to be sent to Giulio Sciarra (giulio.sciarra@ec-nantes.fr), Frédéric Collin (F.Collin@uliege.be), and
Siddhartha H. Ommi (siddhartha-harsha.ommi@ec-nantes.fr). Recommendation letters are also required.
Profile – A solid background in continuum mechanics and computational mechanics is also required. Advanced knowledge in scientific programming is also requested (e.g. Python, Matlab, possibly FORTRAN).
The PhD contract will start in September 2026, for a duration of 36 months. It will take place at the
GeM, Ecole Centrale de Nantes (France) and UEE, Université de Liège (Belgium) within the framework
of a cotutored PhD thesis (thèse en cotutelle).
