معرفی
Dr. John Kaszuba is a Professor at the University of Wyoming with joint appointments in the Department of Geology and Geophysics and the School of Energy Resources. He holds the John and Jane Wold Centennial Chair in Energy and directs research on geochemical fluid-rock interactions across diverse geological systems.
His research integrates laboratory experiments, computational modeling, and field studies to examine:
- Carbon storage systems and CO2-fluid-rock reactions
- Unconventional petroleum reservoirs and enhanced recovery
- Critical mineral mobilization in sedimentary basins
- Geothermal energy applications
- Geologic hydrogen systems
Dr. Kaszuba's publication record demonstrates sustained focus on energy-relevant geochemistry, with recent works emphasizing CO2 utilization, critical mineral resources, and advanced characterization techniques. His articles consistently feature experimental validation of geochemical processes across multiple scales.
Honors include the endowed Wold Centennial Chair recognizing his contributions to energy geoscience. He actively advises graduate students on fundamental and applied research projects, with current NSF and DOE-funded investigations into carbon storage assurance, critical minerals recovery, and geologic hydrogen systems.
He established and directs an experimental hydrothermal laboratory capable of simulating crustal conditions. His research group collaborates extensively with industry partners and national laboratories to address energy transition challenges.
