I will be interning at BP America with the Gulf of Mexico exploration group. I am interested to see how the concepts I've learned in my courses are applied in industry. I'm excited to see how industry operates, how decisions are made, and how everyone works together to achieve their goals.
I am interested in the many fundamental geological aspects of CO2 storage including reservoir characterization and the flow of CO2 and other in situ fluids in the subsurface. Broader interests in sedimentology, structural geology, and energy policy, planning, and technology
DOE funded MegaTransect Project assessing capacity in the Gulf of Mexico for potential future sequestration
Sequestration assessment with Lower Colorado River Authority (LCRA), which involves building a Petra database in order to analyze field and formation options for potential sequestration for LCRA in the future
Little Rock Central High School, AR
B.A. Geosciences, Princeton University, 2007
M.S. Candidate, UT-Austin
Research Assistant, World Resources Institute, and Visiting Scholar, Tsinghua Univeristy-BP Clean Energy Research & Eduation Centre
August 2009 - August 2011,
Beijing, China
Assisted in writing the Guidelines for CCUS in China. Additional work on CCUS policy and regulatory issues as well as other energy related studies for China.
After working on mostly policy and regulatory issues, I am returning to school to develop my abilities as a scientist and geologist while gaining hands-on experience in CO2 storage projects. I look forward to learning as much as possible from the excellent researchers at the GCCC and hope to take advantage of the diversity of ongoing projects to have a comprehensive understanding of the multi-dimensional issues confronting CO2 storage and how good science can inform future regulations and policies.
