Ohio State is in the process of revising websites and program materials to accurately reflect compliance with the law. While this work occurs, language referencing protected class status or other activities prohibited by Ohio Senate Bill 1 may still appear in some places. However, all programs and activities are being administered in compliance with federal and state law.

Meeting the ESGP Alumni

Mengling Stuckman, a postdoc for Oak Ridge Institute of Science and Education, working at DOE-National Energy Technology Lab (NETL). NETL evaluates environmental impacts and promotes sustainability associated with fossil fuel extraction and usage. I've been involved with three projects: One involved with hydraulic fracturing: to characterize heavy metal release from drill cuttings, the solid wastes containing shale rocks and drilling fluids from initial well drilling for fracturing; the second with CO2 storage: to evaluate the potential of arsenic mobilization from caprocks to seal the injected CO2 in targeted geological formations; the last with fly ash from coal-burning power plants: to characterize and evaluate feasibility to recover rare earth elements from fly ash and other coal-derived by-products from power plants.
