Assistant Research Professor
Desert Research Institute
Division of Hydrologic Sciences
Reno, Nevada
July, 2007 to Present
Responsible for developing and maintaining a fully-funded and nationally-competitive research program, writing grants and manuscripts, teaching graduate-level courses, and mentoring graduate students and post-doctoral fellows as an academic advisor.
I am a faculty member of the Graduate Program of Hydrologic Sciences through which I mentor students and teach graduate-level courses.
Post-Doctoral Research Associate
Desert Research Institute
Reno, Nevada
January, 2006 to July, 2007
Supervisor: Mr. Karl Pohlmann
Completed a numerical investigation (sub-CAU model) into the flux of radionuclides from a fractured granite rock mass (Climax Stock) to the Northern boundary of Yucca Flat, Nevada Test Site. The numerical simulations incorporated both model averaging and Monte Carlo approaches to address both geologic/recharge model uncertainty and parametric uncertainty, respectively.
Graduate Research Assistant
Desert Research Institute
Reno, Nevada
August, 2002 to December, 2005
Supervisor: Dr. David A. Benson
Completed a National Science Foundation funded project that served as the basis of my Ph.D. Dissertation. The Desert Research Institute's ACES supercomputer was used to generate synthetic transport data in simulated fracture networks based on realistic fracture statistics. Ensemble plumes produced by multiple flow and transport realizations were found to contain both sub- and super-diffusive characteristics of anomalous transport. Characteristics of the "mobile" portion of the plume (i.e., leading plume edge) were explored in an effort to access the applicability of a multiscaling fractional-order advection-dispersion equation (MFADE). It was found that fracture network properties, such as the distribution of fracture trace-length and orientation, could be used for a priori predictions of solute transport. A fractal mobile-immobile model was used to model solute retention in and around the source release area.
