Environmental and Climate Sciences
Biography
Supervising Faculty: Dr. Terry Hazen
Hazen lab: http://hazenlab.utk.edu/index.php
My research areas and interests include: geology, geochemistry, mineralogy, petrophysics, resource assessment, CO2 storage, CO2-enhanced oil recovery, unconventional resources, and biogeochemistry.
Before joining the Bredesen Center in 2019, I conducted energy-related research as a geoscience researcher at Battelle, and as an intern and research fellow for DOE. I’m interested in STEM outreach and entrepreneurship/business development. I’m currently a member of the Equity and Diversity Committee as part of the Graduate Student Senate.
