Capillary trapping in mixed-wet porous media: Implications for subsurface carbon dioxide sequestration by Saideep Pavuluri (21792941)

“…When the wettability range increases, the trapping efficiency is also seen to increase linearly, suggesting that reservoirs with strong mixed-wet conditions present an attractive option for CO₂ sequestration. …”

A combinatorial auction‐based approach for ridesharing in a student transportation system by Chefi Triki (14158860)

“…The mathematical model is based on the vehicle routing problem along with appropriate constraints accommodating features that express the auction clearing phase. A hybrid heuristic-based optimization framework, that takes advantage of meta-heuristic algorithms to improve an initial solution, is also developed to solve large-sized instances of the problem. …”
