2005 Received the second-highest rating among 25 projects reviewed in a Department of Energy Geothermal Program Review for the project entitled “Creation of an Engineered Geothermal System through Hydraulic and Thermal Stimulation”

2006 Subtask Leader for the International Energy Association’s Geothermal Implementing Agreement program for HDR/EGS field experiments. In this capacity, developed tracers, novel tracer testing techniques, and mineral dissolution agents for chemical stimulation at the Soultz, France HDR project.

2006 Guest editor for the geothermal energy journal Geothermics for a special issue on Hot Dry Rock at the Soultz, France site of the European Hot Dry Rock program

2001 Fellowship from the Japanese Agency of Industrial Science and Technology to participate in a field research project at the site of the Japanese Hot Dry Rock Program in Hijiori, Japan.
