At Sandia, I am a computational geoscientist and a PFLOTRAN developer. PFLOTRAN is an open source, massively parallel subsurface simulator for multiphase, multicomponent, and multiscale reactive flow and transport processes in porous media. PFLOTRAN is used to model geologic disposal systems for nuclear waste under the Spent Fuel and Waste Science and Technology (SFWST) Campaign, U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Nuclear Energy, and for the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) site in Carlsbad, NM.Laboratory Directed Research and Development (LDRD)
