Radwin Askari

Dr. Radwin Askari is an Associate Professor in the Department of Geological and Mining Engineering and Sciences at Michigan Technological University's College of Engineering. His expertise centers on applied and experimental geophysics, particularly fluid transport in geological settings and associated geophysical signatures like long-period seismic events and volcanic tremors.

His academic credentials include:

• PhD in Geophysics from the University of Calgary
• MS in Geophysics from the University of Tehran
• BS in Applied Physics from the University of Hormozgan, Iran

Dr. Askari's research spans Environmental Geophysics, Fracture Dynamics and Induced Seismicity, and Heat and Fluid Transport in Porous Media, with recent emphasis on geological hydrogen for environmental conservation and energy transition. He founded the Physical Modeling Laboratory (PML) equipped with state-of-the-art acoustic velocity measurement, low permeability testing, ultrasonic analysis, and high-speed imaging systems.

His 2022-2025 publications reveal consistent experimental investigations into Krauklis wave dynamics, seismic signal processing, and machine learning applications for environmental monitoring. Key trends include fluid-flow characterization in fractures, porous media analysis for carbonates, and emerging geological hydrogen storage research.

Major recognition includes:

• National Science Foundation CAREER Award

Dr. Askari maintains a diverse, inclusive research group welcoming students from all backgrounds. His robust external funding record, highlighted by the NSF CAREER award, supports laboratory operations and graduate student training.

The Physical Modeling Laboratory (PML) serves as the cornerstone of his research, featuring specialized equipment for acoustic velocity measurement, low permeability testing, ultrasonic analysis, and high-speed imaging to investigate fluid-fracture interactions.
