Research —
Dr. Glatz’s research is focused on visualizing and quantifying coupled thermal, hydrological, mechanical, and chemical processes relevant to e.g., geologic hydrogen and rapid carbon mineralization using computed tomography (CT). His work also involves applying image processing and deep learning techniques to enhance CT data quality and enable the detection of sub-voxel-level phenomena.
