Stanford University
BS - Civil Engineering, 2007
Minnesota State University, Mankato
Mike graduated with a B.S. in Civil Engineering before coming to Stanford in 2007. For his Masters degree research, he studied and developed methods to calculate sub-core scale permeability distributions, and received his Masters Degree in Energy Resources Engineering in 2009. He is currently a PhD candidate in the department of Energy Resources Engineering and is working on developing an integrated CO2 storage capacity model for storage in saline aquifers.
Ethan Chabora
M.S. Student
650-723-7086
BS - Physics, 2001
Cornell University
Upon graduation, Ethan took a position with Schlumberger as a hydrocarbon reservoir evaluation field engineer. He spent the next six years working in field locations from offshore California to Prudhoe Bay, Alaska. After completing the standard field engineer career progression, Ethan was drawn back to academia and joined the Energy Resources Engineering department to pursue a master's degree in petroleum engineering.
Ariel Esposito
