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 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 provides an exclusive, equitable, and diverse atmosphere in his research group, where students from different ethnicities, genders, religions, sexual orientations, and socio-cultural backgrounds are welcomed.

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.
