Chris Novitsky (MS UWyo, 2017)

Chris worked on the detection of fracture-induced anisotropy in the critical zone. He is now a senior software engineer in the private sector.

Over the years I've been extremely privileged to advise and work with many amazing grad students, all of whom have gone on to bigger and better things.  As you can see, most of them have managed to get out on ships or into the field at one point or another.
