Professor Shuisheng He: Shuisheng and his group conduct research in the general field of fluid mechanics and heat transfer combining computational fluid dynamics (RANS, DNS and LBM) with experimental studies. Recently, their research has focused on nuclear thermal hydraulics, carbon capture and storage (CCS), and turbulence (physics, transition and modelling). Other interests are biofluids and oil & gas productions. Email: s.he@sheffield.ac.uk
Dr Jianfei Xie: Jianfei joined the Sheffield University as a post-doctoral research associate in 2013 and is working on the EPSRC funded project Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) which focuses on the brine/CO2 flow in sandstone rocks. His research interests include the computational fluid dynamics (CFD), kinetic modelling, lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations. Email: Jianfei.xie@sheffield.ac.uk

Professor Bruce Yardley: my research interests are in fluid processes in the Earth's crust, and span a wide range of topics, including aspects of ore formation, diagenesis and prograde and retrograde metamorphism, taking place at all levels in the crust. I am particularly interested in chemical mass transfer by fluids and in the cycle of interactions between fluid flow, temperature, mineralogical reactions and the rheology and permeability of the crust.
