Dr Yu Jing is Scientia Senior Lecturer in School of Minerals and Energy Resources Engineering at UNSW. Her research focuses on characterising subsurface formation rocks to gain insight into the underground fluids flow behaviours, such as natural gas, oil and groundwater. She is particularly interested in pore-scale characterisation of rocks with the application of micro-CT imaging, and modelling multiphysics flow transport in underground formations.
