I am a geomechanical earth scientist dedicated to solving subsurface problems to make the world a better place. In practice this means that I study fluid flow and changes in stress and deformation in deep geologic formations that occur naturally and through human interaction. Specific areas of interest and expertise are:

• Hydraulic fracturing
• Induced seicmicity
• In-situ stress measurement
• Geothermal energy
• Geologic carbon storage
• Hydrology
