CERE Faculty member Katrine Alling Andreassen has been awarded the prestigious Fulbright Visiting Scholars grant.
The Fulbright Program is the flagship international educational exchange program sponsored by the U.S. government.
The program awards approximately 800 grants to Visiting Scholars each year. Participants are chosen for their academic merit and leadership potential, and are provided with the opportunity to conduct research, lecture or pursue combined lecturing and research in the United States.
Katrine Alling Andreassen will be working on the research project “Linking physical behavior of sedimentary rocks − from loose to well-cemented materials” during her 4 months visit to The Colorado School of Mines, Colorado.
“I am very much looking forward to the collaboration with Dr. Manika Prasad, Petroleum Engineering Department, Colorado School of Mines. She has an extensive knowledge within rock physics and geophysics and has worked with both elastic properties and acoustic properties of various rock types”, says Dr. Andreassen.
