PhD Student

I received a MS degree in Geosciences from the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee in 2014 and am now pursuing a PhD degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering. My current work focuses on coupled fluid flow and geomechanics relating to reservoir-induced seismic activities. To do this, I utilize a variety of scientific methodologies both in a laboratory and field. I also love to create a schematic model that integrates crucial elements of underlying physics and thus that increases a general understanding of a given system as follows:
