Dr. Zhidi Wu holds a Ph.D. in Civil and Environmental Engineering from the University of Utah and previously worked as a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Los Alamos National Laboratory. She also earned an M.S. in Hydrology and a B.S. in Geology from New Mexico Tech. Dr. Wu has extensive experience in CO₂ enhanced oil recovery (CO₂-EOR), unconventional reservoir geomechanics, and geological hydrogen generation. Her technical background includes over seven years of hands-on expertise in core flooding experiments, multiscale geomechanical testing, petrophysical characterization, and uncertainty quantification using Bayesian methods.

In addition to her experimental work, Dr. Wu is proficient in numerical modeling of subsurface reactive transport and fluid-rock interactions. Her published research in carbon mineralization and stimulated serpentinization addresses key challenges in energy transition and clean energy development. At Agapito, she applies her expertise in geology, hydrology, and geomechanics to support unconventional mining projects, including solution mining and underground storage initiatives.
