Welcome

I am currently a first year M.S. candidate in the Department of Geology and Geophysics at the University of Wyoming.  Advised by Dr. John Kaszuba, I work in the hydrothermal laboratory studying multiphase fluid-rock reactions in the Earth's crust.  I use experimental hydrothermal, organic, and stable isotope geochemistry to solve problems related to hydraulic fracturing fluids and potential hydrocarbon reservoirs. Before coming to Wyoming, I obtained my B.S. in Geology from “The” Ohio State University. While at Ohio State I worked with both scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and laser ablation induced coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS-LA) to study strontium and barium sources in the Point Pleasant Formation. After graduation I worked for the Department of Energy (DOE) as part of their Mickey Leland Energy Fellowship Program with National Energy Technology Laboratires (NETL) lab in Albany Oregon. While working for the DOE I used dual focused ion-beam (Dual FIB) SEM images to study porosity in unconventional shale reservoirs. My personal hobbies include fishing, camping, and skiiing.
