Oluwatobi Raji
Ph.D. Student in Energy Science and Engineering, admitted Spring 2024
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOptimize injection well placement for CO2 storage in a field in Kern County California. Key optimization goals are minimization of pressure build-up and maximization of allowable land area for the CO2 storage.

Matthew Reinhold
Ph.D. Student in Earth and Planetary Sciences, admitted Autumn 2025
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsPlanetary habitability, specifically looking into the effects of tidal heating as both a source of energy to maintain habitable climates, and as a means of keeping small, terrestrial worlds warm, and thus geologically active for long periods of time. In addition, I am interested in the physical, geological and chemical processes on exotic worlds, like Saturn's moon Titan. How do the climates of such worlds evolve, and what kinds of geologic features would they produce on the landscape?

Frances Reuland
Ph.D. Student in Energy Science and Engineering, admitted Spring 2025
BioFran, from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, is an MS candidate in Energy Science & Engineering at Stanford University, where she was named as a 2023 Knight Hennessy Scholar. Before becoming a Stanford student, she spent three years at the Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI) in Boulder, Colorado working on decarbonization solutions for the oil and gas sector. She has a particular focus on methane detection, mitigation, and policy solutions. Prior to RMI, she held a position at the International Energy Agency (IEA) in Paris, France working to support IEA's work on methane from the petroleum sector.
She is a graduate and varsity women's soccer player of the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. Fran earned a B.S. with High Honors in Environmental Science, a Chemistry minor, and a B.A. in Spanish. She has continued her love for competitive soccer career playing in France, Colorado, and California. -
Trent Robinett
Ph.D. Student in Earth System Science, admitted Autumn 2021
Masters Student in Earth System Science, admitted Summer 2023BioTrent is first year Ph.D. student working with Prof. Alexandra Konings in the Earth System Science department. He is interested in using remote sensing data to better understand the role of plant water hydraulics in determining terrestrial vegetation's response to climate change. Trent graduated from the University of Notre Dame in 2021 with a B.S. in Environmental Sciences and a minor in Catholic Social Tradition.

D. Brian Rogers
Ph.D. Student in Earth System Science, admitted Autumn 2020
Masters Student in Earth System Science, admitted Autumn 2022BioBrian is a doctoral student in Earth System Science working with Dr. Kate Maher. Brian is interested in developing robust monitoring, reporting, and verification frameworks for open-system carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technologies. He is currently focusing on extending the utility of reactive transport models to address uncertainties in enhanced rock weathering as a CDR strategy.
