Dr. Zhehui Jin’s research focuses on the application of statistical thermodynamics, molecular modeling and simulations on phase behavior and flow of fluids in nanoporous media, enhanced/improved oil recovery (EOR/IOR), interfacial phenomena, carbon capture and sequestration, gas separation, membranes, wettability, etc. Dr. Jin is also interested in conventional phase behavior modeling in petroleum engineering such as multiphase equilibrium computations, pressure/volume/temperature modeling.
