Welcome to my faculty website.  I work in the areas of earth science and environmental engineering with a focus on sustainable energy.  My current research falls in the emerging interdisciplinary domain of biofuels sustainability, exploring the interaction of biogeochemical cycles and human energy consumption.  Research activities in my lab include parallel computing, field, and laboratory experiments with an emphasis on atmospheric modeling, land use analysis, and life-cycle assessment. 

I am currently seeking PhD students and postdocs who would like to pursue related research. If you are interested in applying to my group then please send me an email.

New course: Kiva.org Online Environmental Micro-Insurance (ENGR 97/197)
Students from a wide range of majors can enroll in an exciting service-learning class in support of Kiva.org, a leading micro-finance non-profit.  The diverse student team will designing an online environmental insurance approach that could provide critical support to the developing world.
