Eylem is a researcher at the University of Auckland whose research interests include reservoir simulation and characterisation, modelling fluid rock interactions, and reinjection of greenhouse gases into geothermal reservoirs.

Eylem will develop multiscale, physics-based models to investigate fracture-controlled permeability evolution in superhot geothermal systems. Her work integrates Discrete Fracture Network (DFN) modelling with coupled thermo-hydro-mechanical processes to simulate fracture reactivation, propagation, and fluid flow. She will link geological data, laboratory experiments, and reservoir-scale simulations to construct dynamically evolving fracture networks.
