Personal Statement
- The
study of groundwater flow and transport appeals to me because
it's so interdisciplinary- math, physics, chemistry, biology,
and geology are only some of the disciplines involved. Furthermore,
there are so many different scales to consider- from the molecular
scale to the basin scale and from time scales of seconds to
millions of years.
Education
-
Bachelors; Brown University, 1981
-
Ph.D.; University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, 1988
Research
- experimental
investigations of immiscible fluid flow and interphase mass
exchange between fluids
- experimental
investigations of novel methods for remediating contaminated
groundwater
- mathematical
simulations for predicting contaminant transport and remediation
at the field scale
- mathematical
optimization of groundwater remediation systems
- role
of faults in basin-scale groundwater flow
