Biography

Pierpaolo is a Guest Scientist within the Energy Geosciences Division, where he collaborates on developing seismic and EM methods for monitoring of subsurface integrity, carbon capture and storage, enhanced geothermal systems, and sustainable resource management.

While at LBNL, he led the Core Carbon Storage Monitoring Research Program focused on advancing emergent monitoring technologies to be used in commercial carbon storage projects.

He holds a MS in Electrical and Telecommunication Engineering and a Ph.D. in Marine Geology and Geophysics. He was awarded the G. Sclocchi Thesis Award for his doctoral work on high-resolution 4D monitoring of fluid flow in fractured rocks.
