DESCRIPTION:Eleni Stavropoulou (LMS\, EPFL)\nAbstract\nEfficient and saf
 e geological storage of CO2 involves multiple physical phenomena that mani
 fest differently on different spatial and temporal scales. The mechanisms 
 of CO2 trapping in different geomaterials are explored with live x-ray tom
 ography under field-representative conditions (Thermo-Hydro-Chemo-Mechanic
 al conditions). Advanced 3D image analysis enables the observation and qua
 ntification of the occurring processes locally and globaly that are otherw
 ise difficult to follow with traditional lab testing methods. The real mic
 rostructure of the given material is used for the construction of realisti
 c pore network or other analytical/numerical models.\n\nBio\nEleni obtaine
 d her PhD in Geomechanics from the University Grenoble Alpes\, France\, in
  2017 in the context of geological nuclear waste disposal (Andra). Between
  2017 and 2019 she did research as scientific collaborator in topics relat
 ed to soil/structure interaction for offshore wind turbines and dams desig
 n. Eleni joined joined EPFL in 2019 and since then she is in charge of the
  CO2 storage activities of the Laboratory of Soil Mechanics (Prof. Laloui'
 s group) where she's developing and exploring advanced imaging and analyti
 cal tools for a better understanding of the multi-physical and multi-phase
  phenomena that occur at different geomaterials before\, during and after 
 CO2 exposure.
