About me
About me
I am a second-year master's research student working in the Kaszuba lab group studying experimental aqueous geochemistry at the University of Wyoming. My previous studies have included general environmental sciences, hydrology, and Spanish.
Current Research Interests
Current Research Interests
I am interested in fundamental geochemistry rock-water interactions. Currently I am working on a project investigating clay alteration as it pertains to permeability in basaltic and rhyolitic enhanced geothermal systems.
I had the oppurtunity to lead laboratory tours for local elementary school children. This was in partner with the Science Initiative Roadshow here at the University of Wyoming.
To the left I can be seen flipping the switch to turn on my first rocker bomb experiment!
For my master's research, I am conducting four rocking autoclave (rocker bomb) experiments that simulate the injection port of an EGS, as well as the hottest conditions found in the system. This is done to understand secondary mineralization within the endmembers of an EGS, that could potentially reduce permeability.
To the right is a picture from the sampling campaign I organized for my research project with the University of Texas at Austin for a Research Experience for Undergraduates internship. I was investigating the concrete channelization of Boggy Creek in Austin, TX and how channelization impacted water quality.
During my time at the University of Texas at Austin, I was able to help with data collection in a karst system! We were collecting drip plate samples to develop speleothem proxy models.
