Biography
Peter is an experimental hydrothermal geochemist, he earned his BSc in geology, and his MSc and Ph.D. in geochemistry at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel. His work focuses on the kinetics and thermodynamics of water-rock interactions in porous media at high pressure and temperature environments and has been involved in research and commercial projects related to geothermal energy, energy storage, enhanced hydrocarbon recovery, and geological carbon storage & utilization. Peter is a leading experimental geochemist in the MBIE Endeavour research programme: Geothermal - The Next Generation, focusing on Aotearoa’s supercritical geothermal potential.
