Haoming Ma

Haoming Ma is a staff research scientist at the University of Wyoming’s School of Energy Resources and Hydrogen Energy Research Center, where he is involved in multiple DOE-funded projects on carbon management, hydrogen production, and geo-energy system analysis. Prior to that, he was a postdoctoral dellow at The University of Texas at Austin. His research leverages artificial intelligence and remote sensing data into physics-based simulation, techno-economic analysis, and life-cycle assessment to evaluate the multi-perspective performance of emerging energy and environmental technologies from process to supply-chain scales. His current work focuses on subsurface carbon capture, utilization, and storage, methane emissions across geo-energy supply chains, underground hydrogen production and storage, and low-carbon fuel innovations. By coupling AI with system-level analysis, his research elucidates the complex environmental and financial trade-offs of geo-energy systems to inform early-stage technology deployment and investment decisions. He has authored over 20 peer-reviewed publications, such as in Environmental Science & Technology, Applied Energy, and Energy Conversion and Management, and serves on technical committees for multiple professional societies, advancing cross-disciplinary collaboration in sustainable geo-energy and environmental systems. Ma holds a PhD in chemical and petroleum engineering from the University of Calgary, an MSc from The University of Pennsylvania, and an MSc and BSc from The University of Pennsylvania.
