mashadab / hydrothermal-convection-in-porous-media

A model for hydrothermal convection in porous media. This has applications to several research problems, including the post impact hydrothermal evolution of the Chicxulub crater and the mining of elements from the silicate interior of asteroids and moons, in particular Jupiter’s moon Europa. All the codes will be written in both MATLAB and Python.

Hello and Welcome! 👋

I am Afzal, a PhD Candidate in Computational Science, Engineering and Mathematics at the Oden Institute for Computational Engineering and Sciences at the University of Texas at Austin. My academic webpage is https://mashadab.github.io/.

• 🔭 I am currently working on the three prominent problems in Earth and Planetary Sciences:

  1. What is the fate of glaciers due to climate warming? Received NASA - JPL Graduate Fellowship and UT Institute for Geophysics Blue Sky Fellowship.
  2. What happened to water on Mars 4 billion years ago? Received Lunar and Planetary Institute Career Development Award.
  3. How can the icy moons of Saturn and Jupiter sustain life below their ice shells? Awarded NASA - JPL Graduate Fellowship and Student Research Award in Planetary Habitability by UT Austin.

• 🌱 I’m currently learning the mathematics and implementation of deep learning and inverse problems.
