Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChet Hopp is a PhD student and geophysicist with a decade of experience studying seismicity, focused on microseismic behavior and fault properties relevant to geothermal reservoir development and carbon capture and storage. Based in Berkeley and enrolled at Victoria University of Wellington, he combines field-based volcano seismology from his work on Volcán Baru with applied microseismic monitoring in New Zealand geothermal systems. His background spans rigorous academic research and hands-on community work—having implemented sanitation and community training projects during a Peace Corps service—highlighting his ability to translate technical science into practical impact. Fluent in interdisciplinary approaches, he brings expertise in observational seismology, reservoir-relevant fault characterization, and an eye for operational considerations that bridge research and industry needs.
