Dr. Dario Grana is the Wyoming Excellence Chair and Professor at the University of Wyoming's Department of Geology and Geophysics. His research focuses on rock physics, seismic reservoir characterization, inverse problems, and geostatistics, with applications in critical zone studies, CO2 sequestration monitoring, and subsurface characterization. Education includes: PhD and MS in Geophysics, Stanford University (2013) MS in Applied Mathematics, University of Milano-Bicocca (2006) BS and MS in Mathematics, University of Pavia (2003, 2005) Research explores rock physics modeling in critical zones, geophysical monitoring of CO2 storage, joint seismic-electromagnetic inversion, and stochastic methods for subsurface characterization. Recent publications emphasize machine learning integration with geostatistical inversion and Bayesian methods for uncertainty quantification. Teaching includes Quantitative Geoscience, Mathematical Methods for Geoscience, Exploration Geoscience, Inverse Theory, and Rock Physics.
