Biography

Dr. Guangrong Jin has been working as a Visiting Researcher at KAUST, Saudi Arabia, since February 2026. He received his Ph.D. in Groundwater Science and Engineering from Jilin University, China, in 2017. From 2017 to 2026, he was an Associate Researcher at the Guangzhou Institution of Energy Conversion, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).

Research Interests

My research interests focus on subsurface multiphase flow and the associated geomechanical responses in porous media. I study various issues related to natural gas hydrates, geothermal energy, and CO2 storage, with a particular emphasis on gas production and the seafloor subsidence that can occur as a result of hydrate exploitation.
