Robin Dommisse is a Research Scientist Associate at the Bureau of Economic Geology. He received a B.Sc. in Petroleum Engineering from The University of Texas at Austin and a Propaedeuse in Geology from the Free University of Amsterdam. He developed an interest in geomodeling while working as a student in the RCRL group during his first tour of duty at the Bureau from 1989 to 1993.
