Research Interest
Professor Lefebvre is interested in multiphase flow, transfer processes (fluids, mass, heat) in porous and fractured geological environments, as well as the geochemical reactions accompanying these transfers. His work is applied to the characterization and modeling of contaminated aquifers and local and regional flow systems in relation to groundwater resources management.
