Ryan Armstrong’s research interests are on multiphase flow through porous media with applications to enhanced oil recovery and special core analysis. He specializes on the usage of micro-fluidic devices and dynamic X-ray microtomography experiments to study the pore-scale physics relevant to subsurface engineering technologies. He has worked on projects ranging from microbial enhanced oil recovery (MEOR) to alkaline surfactant polymer flooding (ASP) to digital core analysis. Previously, he was a member of the Rock and Fluid Science Team at Shell Global Solutions International B.V., where he worked with Schlumberger Moscow Research on a collaborative research project that assessed pore-scale modeling tools for digital core analysis.
