I'm a geology major here at KU. 
In the earth today, 
there's a lot of contaminants out there: 
gasoline, oil. 
We're simulating 
what a contaminated site might look like.

Chi: As a patient going to the hospital, 
you can look at 
what's happening in your body. 
We do the same thing for the earth
so we're the doctors of the earth.

Chi: The experience that I have
 with Connor is fantastic. 
I did not expect those undergraduate students
to have such solid academic training. 
Connor: Dr. Zhang has helped me 
get involved with this research
and she gave me some connections
 with people in the industry
which I believe 
have helped me out a lot.

Connor: Before I came to KU,
 I didn't have much of an idea
of what I wanted to do 
but through this research, 
it's given me great experience
 of what my job 
might look like when I graduate from KU.
