Ryan Armstrong

Ryan T. Armstrong is a Professor in the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of New South Wales. His research focuses on multiphase flow and transport in porous media, integrating applied mathematics, physics, and data-driven methods to understand and predict subsurface processes. He leads research on digital rock physics, advanced imaging, and machine learning for the characterisation of natural and engineered materials, with applications in energy resources, groundwater, CO₂ and hydrogen storage, and mineral recovery. He was an Australian Research Council Future Fellow from 2021 to 2024 and has received funding through the ARC Linkage and Discovery schemes, as well as from industry-supported research. Professor Armstrong is an active contributor to the international porous media community (InterPore), serving in leadership roles within the Society of Core Analysts, and contributing to the development of collaborative research and training initiatives in subsurface engineering and digital technologies. He is currently President of the Society of Core Analysts for 2025 and was awarded the InterPore Award for Porous Media Research in 2024.
