Dr. Anderson has a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering and a Masters in Chemical Engineering Practice from MIT. His research interests include intermolecular interactions of gases such as CH4, H2, CO2, with water and with solid surfaces, molecular modeling of natural gas hydrates, economic modeling of energy technology, and EGS (Enhanced Geothermal Systems).
