Professional Work
I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Geosciences Department at Pennsylvania State University. My research aims to elucidate the relationship between fractured rock elastic properties and fluid transport using well-controlled experiments in the Penn State Rock and Sediment Mechanics Laboratory. Recently, I have been using numerical modeling, informed by experimental results, to better understand the complicated interplay between fracture stiffness and permeability.
Personal Details
I have had a lot of fun hiking and camping with friends and family in the area, especially in Rothrock State Forest. Also, my wife and I enjoy tending to our vegetable gardens – we particularly like to grow hardy vegetables like squash.
