Work History
Research Assistant
University of California, Davis
04.2020 - 06.2023
- Developed methods and prepared laboratory experiments contributing to the production of optical sensors that detect oxygen levels in porous media.
- Used Geodict to solve flow and transport equations in soil samples applying Eulerian and Lagrangian frames. The simulation explored the impact of modifying pore-space geometry on the behaviors of particle velocity in porous media.
