Hello and welcome!

I am a coal scientist who, like my colleagues, is active in teaching, research, and various service activities. My research interests are focused on many aspects of coal structure and its influence on coal behavior. This includes CO₂ sequestration in coal, molecular modeling of coal/char, coal to liquids research, and structural representation of complex behavior. You can read more about this area in my research link to the left. My teaching is face-to-face, and online. I have a couple of WEB only classes and teach at both the undergraduate and graduate level. This includes our online masters in Earth Science Education.
