Curriculum Vitae

Research Interests

I study water-rock interactions in critical subsurface processes using geophysical tools. My research interests focus on

quantifying soil/rock architecture and predicting hydrologic parameters by using geophysical observations and mechanistic modeling;
identifying andprojecting biogeochemical processes at fluid-rock interfaces in Earth’s near surface (e.g.,microbial-induced calcite precipitation)
discerning anthropogenic changes inhydrologic states using geophysical tools (e.g., hydrocarbon contamination monitoring).
