During his career, Randy has pursued interdisciplinary research around complex subsurface behavior and phenomena to better understand aquifer mixing behavior and characterize temporal scale response to various stress induced states as risk predictors. Randy has co-authored papers in top tier international journals and is a recognized subject matter expert in multi-layer aquifer mixing behavior. He served on two teams recognized in January 2021 by U.S. DOE Secretary's Achievement Awards, the National Virtual Biotechnology Laboratory Team and the Science and Technology Risk Matrix Team for their work performed in 2020 across the National Laboratory system.
