Hector Lamadrid

Hector Lamadrid is an Assistant Professor at the School of Geosciences, University of Oklahoma, specializing in geological fluid dynamics and rock-fluid interactions. His research integrates analytical techniques (fluid inclusions, Raman, SEM, TOF-SIMS), high-pressure experiments, and computational modeling to study processes like carbon sequestration, metamorphism, and critical resource formation.

Education:

• Ph.D. in Geology, Virginia Tech (2016)
• B.A., National University of Mexico (2005)

Research Focus:

Lamadrid investigates fluid-mediated processes across diverse geological contexts, including carbon capture via mineral carbonation, serpentinization kinetics, magma volatile budgets, and metamorphic fluid evolution. His work emphasizes experimental validation and thermodynamic modeling of fluid-rock systems under extreme conditions.

Publication Trends:

Recent articles (2020-2021) focus on advanced fluid inclusion applications for carbon capture, Raman spectroscopy of gas mixtures, and volcanic magma storage dynamics. Earlier work established foundations in serpentinization rates, metamorphic fluid characterization, and ore-forming systems. Over 60% of publications involve experimental validation of fluid behavior.
