Hi there, I'm Jimin.
I am a PhD candidate in the Department of Energy Science & Engineering at Stanford University, advised by Dr. Anthony R. Kovscek.
Welcome to my site! Here, you can find my CV, news & highlights from my research, and some miscellaneous fun items.
I am currently seeking a summer internship for Summer 2025!
My interests lie in tackling physics-based machine learning applications and the energy transition challenge.
At Stanford, I am developing low-carbon solutions emphasizing underground hydrogen storage (UHS) and carbon capture & sequestration (CCS). My research focuses on the first principles for gas-brine flow in porous media through experimental observation, analytical modeling, and numerical simulation.
During my summers, I have interned at various major energy companies, exploring new simulation techniques for new energy technologies. This included examining the physical feasibility of underground hydrogen storage for numerical reservoir simulators, developing new grinding techniques for modeling CCS assets, and applying machine learning techniques to create surrogate models to accelerate CCS project development.
Before pursuing my PhD, I worked as a reservoir engineer for Chevron. My work involved technology development and deployment for Chevron's global assets. While there, I realized the importance of developing efficient and physically accurate modeling capabilities to advance net-zero energy technologies rapidly.
Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, eating, spending time with friends, and golfing.
