FLOW postdoc Wenhai Lei leads invited review in Lab on a Chip

We are proud to share that FLOW postdoc Wenhai Lei is the lead author of a newly published invited critical review in Lab on a Chip, titled:

 "Advancing sustainable energy solutions with microfluidic porous media.” ( doi.org/10.1039/D5LC00206K )

This comprehensive review highlights how microfluidic platforms, in combination with numerical modeling, are poised to play a pivotal role in advancing our understanding of key energy technologies—including carbon capture and sequestration, underground hydrogen storage, and geological disposal of nuclear waste.

The paper outlines critical scientific challenges and presents the current state-of-the-art techniques for investigating the complex interplay between multiphase flow, reactive transport, and biological processes in porous media.
