Ian C. Bourg is an Associate Professor at Princeton Materials Institute and the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Princeton University. He holds a Ph.D. in Civil Environmental Engineering from the University of California-Berkeley, awarded in 2004, and a Master's degree and Bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering from the National Institute of Applied Sciences in France, both obtained in 1999. His research focuses on clay mineral surface geochemistry, geologic carbon sequestration, kinetic isotope effects, and the study of aqueous systems. He investigates the dynamics at liquid water interfaces, the coupling of geochemistry with geomechanics, and the fluxes within porous media areas. Through his work, Ian aims to enhance the understanding of environmental processes relevant to sustainable engineering practices and natural resource management.
GRE scores are not accepted. Ph.D. is the primary degree; students are not required to hold an M.S.E. prior to admission.
