   personal_statement: Michelle investigates various interactions between groundwater
     and energy production waste products, focusing on the effects of multiphase
     (gas-water) flow. Specific applications of her research include the potential
     impacts of geologic carbon sequestration on water quality in shallow aquifers,
     as well as the long-term hydrogeologic evolution of low-permeability aquitards
     that may be used for disposal of nuclear waste.
