By performing multidisciplinary projects in collaboration with academic and industrial institutes, the ultimate objective is to prompt fundamental research and education activities.

Current projects:

• ►International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) Expedition 402: Tyrrhenian Continent-Ocean Transition. Participant of science party and post-expedition activity.
  

• ►Experimental investigations of Ca- and Mg-rich carbonates formation and their isotope fractionations: Implications for past environments on Mars. Funded by UH GEAR program.
  

• ►Natural hydrogen: A hydrothermal experimental and analytical study of ultramafic rocks to simulate and understand processes for optimal rock-based hydrogen production. Funded by energy industry.
  

• ►Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in the Edwards aquifer in south central Texas. In collaborations with UTSA.
  

• ►Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry (IRMS) acquisition and Light Stable Isotope Laboratory setup. Funded by NSF and UH.
