Dr. Kaczmarek is an associate professor of geology and head of the at 澳门六合彩官网直播. He is a sedimentary petrologist with a research focus on carbonate diagenesis, particularly dolomitization and calcitization of carbonate sediments. His research integrates textural, mineralogical, and geochemical data acquired from a wide variety of analytical instruments.
Dr. Kaczmarek began his career as a research scientist for ExxonMobil Upstream Research Company (2005-2011), where he investigated carbonate reservoirs, taught a variety of courses, and worked on exploration and production projects all over the world. In 2011, he returned to academia, and joined the faculty at 澳门六合彩官网直播 in 2015.
Dr. Kaczmarek has published dozens of peer-reviewed journal articles, serves as , and referees manuscripts and proposals for more than a dozen scientific journals and grant funding agencies worldwide. His research activities are supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation,the Department of Energy, and various industry sponsors.
