Research WangÂ’s research includes fundamental work on fracture pattern formation, methods to analysis patterns, clastic diagenesis, reservoir characterization, rock properties evaluation, and reservoir quality predictive modelling. Wang has expertise in petrography, scanning electron microscopy, fluid inclusion micro thermometry, field- and core-based fracture description, image log analysis, diagenetic and rock physics modeling (Touchstone), and integrated statistics and machine learning techniques.
WangÂ’s goals include conducting fundamental and practical research at the interface between structural geology and sedimentary petrology with a focus on solving societally important challenges to hydrocarbon, geothermal and CCUS development in an international research organization that features cross-disciplinary collaborative research teams and international collaborations.
