fractured and porous rocks, petrophysics, fluid flow in porous media, rock failure and fracture, and on the relationship between microstructure and the physical properties of heterogeneous materials, with applications to petroleum engineering, underground mining, radioactive waste disposal, and subsurface carbon sequestration. His research interests include modelling of geomechanical and hydrological processes related to geological disposal facilities for nuclear waste. Robert’s research has been funded by, among others, BP, Chevron, Halliburton, Norsk Hydro, Rio Tinto, Schlumberger, Shell, EPSRC, NERC, NDA, and the European Commission. He has been a PI on the US Department of Energy’s Yucca Mountain radioactive waste repository project, and was the principal investigator on the €3M THERESA project, funded by the European Commission Euratom Program. He is currently PI on the multi-university NERC RATE project: ‘Hydromechanical and Biogeochemical Processes in Fractured Rock Masses in the Vicinity of a Geological Disposal Facility for Radioactive Waste. 19 http://www.imperial.ac.uk/nuclear-engineering
