Dr Lee Hosking
Senior Lecturer in Energy Geomechanics

Summary

Lee is a Chartered Civil Engineer (CEng MICE) and Senior Lecturer in Energy Geomechanics in the Department of Engineering, where he is part of the Centre for Energy Efficient and Sustainable Technologies.

His research focuses on modelling deep ground behaviour for low-carbon technologies, mainly geological CO₂ storage and geothermal energy, including multiphase flow, heat transfer, and geomechanical behaviour in deep rock formations.

Lee teaches across the civil engineering discipline, including sustainable energy and transport infrastructure engineering, climate change science and technology, and professional skills.

Before joining Brunel, Lee was a postdoctoral researcher at Cardiff University, working on CO₂ storage as part of a holistic energy systems project. He holds a PhD and MEng in Civil Engineering from Cardiff University.

Lee is a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA) and a member of the Editorial Board of Deep Underground Science and Engineering. He is also a member of the UK CO₂ Capture and Storage Research Community (UKCCSRC), the British Geotechnical Association, and the International Society for Rock Mechanics and Rock Engineering.

Lee welcomes enquiries from prospective PhD students and potential research collaborators.
