Maartje Maria Boon
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Energy Resources Engineering
BioMaartje Boon joined Stanford University in 2017 as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Energy Resources Engineering in the School of Earth, Energy & Environmental Sciences. She combines experimental techniques involving X-Ray CT imaging with numerical modelling to look at the impact of rock structure heterogeneities on multiphase flow properties and its implications for Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS).
Boon obtained her PhD degree in Petroleum Engineering from Imperial College London where she was part of the Qatar Carbon Capture and Storage Research Centre (QCCSRC). She developed a new experimental technique to observe solute spreading and mixing in natural consolidated rock. She used experimentally obtained statistical rock descriptions to numerically investigate the impact of rock heterogeneity on reactive transport in porous media.
Her ambition is to become an expert in experimental imaging techniques as well as numerical modelling of reactive transport in porous media. In the future, she would like to have her own research group at one of the leading universities in the field of Energy Sustainability. -
Seongbeom Lee
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Energy Resources Engineering
BioSeongbeom Lee is currently a postdoctoral research fellow in the Department of Energy Resources Engineering at Stanford University (Advisor: Prof. Simona Onori). His research aims to create the very first, transformative and computationally optimized modeling framework for electrochemical energy storage systems that is able to accurately describe macroscale (both in 1-D and 2-D) dynamics used for design optimization and systematically transfer the accuracy and fidelity of such macroscale models to low-order/reduced models suitable for real-time control.
Seongbeom received a B.E. in Chemical Engineering and a Master’s in Chemistry (Advisor: Prof. Kyung Byung Yoon), from Sogang University, Seoul, South Korea. He also earned a Ph.D. (Advisor: Prof. Venkat Subramanian) in Chemical Engineering from the University of Washington, Seattle. Seongbeom has been working on experiments, modeling, and simulations of electrochemical energy storage and conversion systems, and as a result, he has authored 5 peer-reviewed publications, combining material science, electrochemistry, computer science (e.g., machine learning), and mathematical techniques (e.g., optimization and numerical methods). This multidisciplinary expertise/experience enabled him to collaborate with many research groups (Prof. Victor Zavala group at the UW-Madison, Prof. Wenzhong Gao group at the University of Denver, Dr. Babu Chalamala group at SNL, Dr. Jun Liu group at PNNL, and Dr. Peter Khalifah group at BNL), minimizing a collaboration time delay between modelers/controllers and experimentalists (e.g., providing open access codes with multiple software including Matlab, Fortran, C++, Comsol, Python, and Maple).
