Clara Yoon
Ph.D. Student in Geophysics
BioMy name is Clara Yoon, and I am a PhD candidate in earthquake seismology at Stanford University, advised by Prof. Greg Beroza and working closely with Prof. Bill Ellsworth.
I have a unique, diverse combination of skills in geophysics, seismology, radar science, and software development that enables me to successfully approach interdisciplinary scientific problems and develop robust technical solutions.
I am currently seeking employment as I expect to receive my PhD in geophysics from Stanford University in April 2018. I prefer to relocate to the Los Angeles area, although I am considering jobs anywhere in California.

Current Research and Scholarly InterestsPolymer flood is the one of the EOR (enhanced oil recovery) method to control the mobility ratio between displaced and displacing fluids. Improved mobility ratio by the polymer flood overcomes gravity overriding, viscous fingering, and channeling; hence, enhancing oil recovery. Significant mechanisms attributed to EOR in polymer flooding has not been fully understood because an in-situ rheology of polymer become more complex in geochemically heterogeneous porous media where polymer-related non-linear effects including viscoelasticity, degradation, and mechanical entrapment exist.
Therefore, my primary research project entails a contribution to the sparse body of knowledge on micro-pore scale fluid flow in geochemically heterogeneous porous media. To achieve the goal, my research is part of cutting-edge efforts to develop an advanced platform and methodology enabling the real-time monitoring of fluid dynamics. In addition, a finite-volume toolbox OpenFOAM, open source CFD solver, has been used to simulate non-linear effects in the flow of viscoelastic fluids (shear-thinning behavior) through porous media.
