About this position
At the GeM laboratory at Ecole Centrale de Nantes, this postdoctoral position explores the experimental analysis of hydro-chemo-mechanical phenomenageological CO₂ storage. The project is centered on understanding how acidified CO₂-brine solutions interact with the caprock of storage sites and how these reactions may modify rock properties and long-term sealing capacity.
The postdoctoral researcher will work on the experimental reproduction of CO₂ migration scenarios through rock, including situations involving fractures and faults. A major part of the work is to adapt an existing experimental setup, BIAX, so it can be used with acidic solutions and support tests designed to study diffusion and circulation processes within rock materials.
The position also involves the development of analogue materials based on clay mixtures and mineral inclusions such as calcite, with the aim of reproducing selected properties of caprock. In parallel, the researcher will define experimental protocols, run and develop a triaxial testing campaign, and follow a complementary biaxial testing campaign led by a doctoral student.
Another aspect of the role is contributing to the update of Ufreckles, the digital image correlation software currently used at GeM, in direct connection with BIAX. The project sits at the interface of experimental mechanics, subsurface flow, rock alteration, and storage safety.
