Faults play an important role in geothermal fluid transport and can also present a contrast in acoustic impedance such that seismic methods can approximately locate their presence in the subsurface. Brady Natural Lab is a geothermal reservoir that has numerous faults that allow for both recharge and deep-to-shallow heat exchange ...
As microelectronics technology nears the end of exponential growth over time, known as Moore’s law, there is a renewed interest in new computing paradigms such as quantum computing.  A key step in the roadmap to build a scientifically or commercially useful quantum computer will be to demonstrate its exponentially growing ...

Fixing Urban Congestion with Dollars and DataIn many of the challenges faced by the modern world, from overcrowded road networks to overstretched healthcare systems, large benefits for society come about from small changes by very many individuals. We describe a framework for designing "nudge engines,†focusing on influencing commuter behavior to reduce urban congestion. The framework ...
Nanoengineered materials have exciting, untapped potential to improve energy and water technologies. In this talk, I provide a few examples of how we leverage nanoscale manipulation capabilities to develop advanced thermal management, solar thermal energy conversion and water harvesting devices. First, I discuss our recent work that harnesses novel surface ...
