This website is not
maintained as of October 2006. I have graduated from UCSB and currently work
for Shell as a Spill Response Specialist.
 |
I gave a talk at the Freshwater
Spill Symposium in Portland. Presentation is available
here. (May 8th, 2006) |
|
My research proposal entitled “Oil
Recovery with Novel Skimmer Surfaces Under Cold Climate Conditions”
was awarded $170,000 grant through the Coastal Response Research Center
at the University of New Hampshire. (March 7th, 2006) |
|
Two reports summarizing my recent
research work are available now. (March 7th, 2006) |
A laboratory phase:
·
Tailored Polymeric Materials to Increase Oil Spill Recovery in Marine
Environments .
Full-scale oil spill recovery test:
·
Optimization of Oleophilic Skimmer Recovery Surface .
|
An article about my research was
published in the
University of California Newsletter. |
