Dr. Aryana leads a research team at the University of Wyoming's Department of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering and holds the Occidental Chair for Energy and Environmental Technologies in the School of Energy Resources. His research primarily intersects energy, water, and environmental concerns, with a specialization in multiscale, multiphysics systems. He directs a microfluidics lab where researchers create surrogate permeable media to study flow dynamics.
His lab also focuses on the theoretical and computational study of flow, transport, and phase behavior in complex subsurface systems, as potential storage sites for CO2 and H2. Utilizing scalable mesoscopic models that integrate atomistic physics, the team’s research aims to understand system-level behavior arising from complexity.
