Seth received his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Montana State University in 2022, with a focus on biochar for electrical applications, including polymer composites and lithium-ion batteries. Currently, Seth is a Postdoctoral Scholar at the University of California - Davis Civil and Environmental Engineering Dept., researching carbon sequestration in the built environment and improvements in methods for collecting life-cycle assessment data for novel materials. Seth's research interests include, carbon and biochar structure-property relationships, sustainable composite, infastructure, and battery materials, and industrial ecology.
