Lab at @UTAustin developing and using micro/nano-fluidic approaches for energy and environmental sustainability

[UT PGE @UT_PGE]

Congrats to UT PGE faculty members @hugh_daigle, @DNEGeomechanics and @SongLabUT on their promotions announced today! Effective in the fall, Dr. Daigle and Dr. Espinoza will be full professors and Dr. Song will be an associate professor with tenure. 🤘🎉

[Michael Pyrcz🌻 @GeostatsGuy]

I ran into 2 professors today that had just received notification of their promotion to associate professor with tenure! Congratulations to Professors @SongLabUT & @blairajohnson!

These amazing professors are doing so much to support students and advance essential research, and I’m inspired! #WhatStartsHere #HookEm

Enjoying a sunny day hike with the group!

[Research Corporation for Science Advancement @RCSA1]

The first meeting of #Scialog: Sustainable Minerals, Metals, and Materials comes to a close today with Fellows presenting proposals for collaborative cross-disciplinary projects. Thanks, good luck, and see you next year!

[UT PGE @UT_PGE]

Congrats to @SongLabUT on her selection as a Scialog Fellow in Sustainable Minerals, Metals and Materials! She is one of 58 scientists — including just two from Texas institutions — selected for the 3-year #sustainability initiative. #WhatStartsHere

Congratulations to Feras for winning a @TMSSociety WAAIME Scholarship! Feras is working on understanding the recovery of rare earth elements from regoliths.

[SongLab @SongLabUT]

If you work on pore-scale experiments, modeling, or theory development, please consider submitting to our session this AGU!

[Bo Guo @boguo_ua]

Do you work on pore-scale physics and plan to attend AGU in DC this year?

Consider submitting an abstract to our pore-scale physics session!

[SongLab @SongLabUT]

Congratulations to Dr. Gerardo on a successful defense! Sheila developed seminal knowledge on the morphologic, mineralogic, and physicochemcial characteristics of ash as it pertains to the recovery of rare earth elements. I am a very proud advisor today.

[SongLab @SongLabUT]

Very proud to hood Artur and Sheila today! A hearty congratulations to these two, who started with me on day 1 of my time at @UT_PGE and have grown into fantastic young scientists!

[SongLab @SongLabUT]

@boguo_ua @uarizona Congratulations, Bo!! Well deserved!!

[SongLab @SongLabUT]

Artur's paper on an operando SEM platform that allows, for the first time, direct observation of dynamic fluid-mineral interactions at the nanoscale is out now! This platform opens the door to elucidating interfacial phenomena under realistic conditions https://t.co/hjK5GBn5jS

[SongLab @SongLabUT]

Celebrating Shunxiang’s birthday with the group! Shunxiang has been working hard on understanding how microbes are stabilized in geologic materials!

[SongLab @SongLabUT]

David's paper elucidating a previously unknown mechanism of capillarity-driven reaction-imbibition process that controls the rate of CO2 clathrates formation is out now! Here, he uses micromodels to see inside ocean sediments during CO2 storage! https://t.co/cDVyGFy6W0

[UT Austin Research @UTexasResearch]

Wen Song, assistant professor in @UT_PGE , has been awarded an @ARPAE grant from @ENERGY to develop a new technology to extract geologic hydrogen – a promising carbon-free fuel. Learn more: https://t.co/N7neLuEZii

[SongLab @SongLabUT]

Proud of Sheila for winning a best poster award from UT Material Sciences on her characterization of reactive transport mechanisms controlling rare earths recovery from coal ash!

[SongLab @SongLabUT]

Excited to start working on this with our collaborators at @UCLA and @PNNLab!

[ARPA-E @ARPAE]

Today, ARPA-E announced 16 projects across 8 states selected to receive $20M to explore technologies related to geologic hydrogen stimulation and reservoir management.

You can read more about the 16 projects selected here: https://t.co/CKqql4FnZq.

Congratulations to Sheila for winning a best poster award at the UT GAIN meeting on her rare earth elements recovery from coal ash work! https://t.co/2rjnPq3pKY

[SongLab @SongLabUT]

Very excited to start working on this project, awarded by the @RCSA1 and @SloanFoundation, with teammates @RachelDDavidson and @MichaelRossUML!

[Research Corporation for Science Advancement @RCSA1]

RCSA, the @SloanFoundation, and @ClimateWorks have made awards to seven cross-disciplinary teams of early career scientists in the fourth and final year of the #Scialog: Negative Emissions Science initiative. https://t.co/3xW9nG5X6B

[UT PGE @UT_PGE]

Our very own Dr. Wen Song is one of 20 scientists to receive this Negative #Emissions Science funding! Her work on #CO2 mineralization as a means of #CCUS is funded by @SloanFoundation. Congrats, @SongLabUT! More: https://t.co/Y5c8eV54LZ
