Biography

Biography: 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.

Research Interest

Phase behavior modeling in shale nanoporous media Flow modeling in shale nanoporous media Interfacial phenomena and properties of heavy oil and surfactants Cubic-plus-association equation of state modeling Dr. Jin is currently hiring both undergraduate and graduate students who are independent, self-motivated, and passionate about conventional and molecular modeling in general petroleum and chemical engineering applications. The positions are open to students not only from petroleum engineering but also general engineering and science background, such as chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, physics, etc. Interested and qualified students are encouraged to contact Dr. Jin for a possible opportunity to join his research team at University of Alberta.
