Dr. Toti Larson is a Research Associate Professor at the University of Texas at Austin Bureau of Economic Geology and PI of the Mudrock Systems Research Laboratory (MSRL) research consortium. Toti is the PI of an ARPA-E project titled: “Sustainable H2 production from abiotic catalyst-enhanced stimulation of iron-rich rocks”. As a geologist and geochemist his research focuses on subsurface reservoir characterization using core-based measurements and characterizations. Toti’s research on hydrogen is focused on experimentally-derived reaction rates of hydrogen production from iron-bearing rocks, exploring subsurface hydrogen systems, and developing abiotic catalysts that will enhance production of hydrogen from iron-bearing rocks.
