Standing is this studio’s placement of the work, not a ranking of the person, and it is the one line here that is a judgement rather than a cited fact.
The work
Senior staff scientist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (PhD, UC Berkeley), group leader for Environmental Isotope Systems, and principal investigator of the DOE ‘Microbes Persist’ Soil Microbiome Scientific Focus Area. Also leads LLNL’s Roads to Removal carbon-dioxide-removal analysis and the Terraforming Soil Energy Earthshot center. Recipient of the DOE E.O. Lawrence Award (2022); elected AAAS Fellow (2025); adjunct professor at UC Merced.
