Biography

Marco Voltolini is an Affiliate Scientist in the Energy Geosciences Division at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.

Publications

  • Researcher ID
  • Google Scholar

Research Interests

  • Microtomography and development of novel data/image processing techniques (2D, 3D)
  • X-Ray Powder Diffraction, especially texture analysis and HP/HT experiments
  • Development of new approaches, for both the instrumental part and the data analysis, using synchrotron radiation (involving XRPD and microtomography).
  • Texture (quantification of microstructural parameters and preferred orientation) analysis with a variety of different techniques (synchrotron X-ray diffraction, neutron diffraction, EBSD, TEM, X-ray microtomography).
  • Digital rock physics: modeling physical properties from experimental data: e.g. seismic velocities from diffraction and/or microtomography measurements, hydraulic properties of rocks using microtomography data (permeability, diffusivity, single and multiphase flow,...).
  • Mineral dissolution/crystallization kinetics.
  • Thermodynamics of aqueous solutions.
  • Atomic Force Microscopy on crystal surfaces.
  • Zeolites, clays, sulfides. Shales, limestones, sandstones for reservoir/caprock characterization. Highly deformed rocks, for structural geology studies.
