Wyoming's Energy Future Symposium Kicks Off in Laramie

The symposium brings together various stakeholders in the state and region to collaborate and learn about what comes next for energy in Wyoming.

John Kaszuba, SER Professor of Geology & Geophysics, Nielson Faculty Fellow, John and Jane Wold Centennial Chair in Energy, Department of Geology & Geophysics, University of Wyoming, joins This Week In Energy and The Crude Life to discuss Wyoming’s energy reality and future.

Kaszuba is one of the speakers at The UW School of Energy Resources and the Wold Foundation hosted event called the Wyoming's Energy Future Symposium.

The symposium brings together various stakeholders in the state and region to collaborate and learn about what comes next for energy in Wyoming. 

John Kaszuba is the John and Jane Wold Centennial Chair in Energy and a School of Energy Resources Professor of Geology and Geophysics. A prominent expert in hydrothermal and multiphase fluid-rock reactions, Kaszuba has forged a path of excellence throughout his career, both in his research and in his dedication to student instruction. Before joining UW in 2008, Kaszuba earned his B.S. in geology from Beloit College (1982), followed by his M.S. from Virginia Tech University (1986). He later earned his Ph.D. in geochemistry from Colorado School of Mines (1997) before working as a research scientist in the Los Alamos National Laboratory for over a decade.

Since joining UW, his research has focused largely on Wyoming energy production, with extensive industry collaboration, and he has garnered an impeccable reputation as an esteemed professor. He was awarded tenure in 2012 and promoted to full professor in 2019.

During his tenure at UW, Kaszuba has continued to teach a full course load, all with an emphasis on energy education. Additionally, he supervises and leads a research group focused on a wide variety of projects regarding the geochemistry of fluid-rock interactions in the shallow to middle crust. Over 25 students have made contributions through their research in the energy sector and thrived under his tutelage and mentorship.
