Ang Liu

Ang Liu is an assistant teaching professor of energy and mineral engineering at Penn State University. His interests include rock mechanics and fluid dynamics with their applications on unconventional gas exploitation, carbon sequestration/hydrogen and energy storage in geological formations and mine ground/gas control. He has extensive experiences on coupled experimental rock mechanics and fluid flow characterization (high-pressure-temperature GCTS system, micro-CT, FESEM-EDS, STEM, XRD, XPS, SANS/USANS, and nanoindentation), and numerical simulation using various software packages (COMSOL Multiphysics & Livelink for Matlab; Fekete FAST CBM; Flac3D; Rocscience; ICAMPS). He has served as a Co-PI and leading researcher on projects funded by organizations such as the U.S. Department of Energy, U.S. National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, the Alpha Foundation, and Penn State. His research endeavors have resulted in the publication of over 40 papers in top-rated journals and 13 peer-reviewed conference proceedings and abstracts.
