Dr. Radwin Askari

Dr. R. Askari is a geophysicist with considerable expertise and research experience in applied and experimental geophysics. His current research focuses on environmental geophysics and geological hydrogen to conserve the environment and facilitate energy transition.  Additionally, he is interested in understanding fluid transports in geological settings with respect to their geophysical signatures (e.g., long-period events and volcanic tremors). To this end, he has founded a Physical Modeling Laboratory (PML) at the Department of Geological and Mining Engineering and Sciences at Michigan Tech (GMES). PML is equipped with state-of-the-art 1) acoustic velocity measurement, 2) low permeability measurement, 3) ultrasonic measurement, and 4) high-speed imaging systems.

Dr. Askari has a solid record of external funding, peer review journal publication, and teaching. He is a recipient of the National Science Foundation’s prestigious Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) award.
