Roe-Hoan Yoon is a University Distinguished Professor at Virginia Tech. He earned his B.S. degree from Seoul National University (1967) and his M.S. (1971) and Ph.D. (1977) degrees from McGill University. He worked as a Research Scientist at the Canada Center for Minerals and Energy Technology (CANMET) from 1976 to1978 and joined the faculty of Virginia Tech in January, 1979. He currently serves as Director of the Center for Advanced Separation Technologies (CAST).
Early in his career, his research focus was on fine particle separation, which led to the development of the Microcel flotation column, which is widely used in industry today, and also on the electrochemistry of sulfide minerals. During the last 20 years, Dr. Yoon has been focusing on the study of hydrophobic interactions, which has led to the development of new flotation reagents, dewatering aids, a first-principle flotation model, and new separation processes. These research activities have resulted in over 320 technical publications, 13 book chapters, 1 book, more than 40 plenary and keynote papers at national and international meetings, and a number of Congressional testimonies. He has advised 38 Ph.D. students, 34 M.S. students, and more than 40 post doctorial fellows and visiting scholars. To date he has 57 U.S. and international patents to his credit, many of which have been commercialized through license agreements. He is a member of the National Academy of Engineering and has won numerous awards, including the Gaudin Award (2003) and the Richards Award (2007).
M. Burke McHugh began his career in 1990 working in the San Juan Basin for Nassau Resources, an E&P business founded by his father. Burke learned the business from the ‘ground up’ focusing on gas measurement from Nassau’s coal-bed methane lease into Williams Field Services mainline. He also monitored sales from Nassau’s conventional Natural Gas and liquids leases into El Paso Natural Gas mainline in the lower Basin. He soon became VP of Gas Marketing for Nassau, which coincided with the FERC 636 Ruling which federally mandated ‘unbundled’ services for interstate pipelines. Burke helped establish new end-user markets with utility companies on the West Coast.
As Nassau began to wind down in the late-nineties, Burke started to focus on the real estate sector.
He found a niche market with bidding, developing and managing build-to-suit projects for the USDA/Forest Service throughout the Rocky Mountain region. Over the years, he also added small commercial and residential holdings to his portfolio through various 1031 exchanges.
Burke earned his B.A. in English Communications from Fort Lewis College in 1988. In 2018 he completed the Energy Land Management Certification Program through University of Denver’s Daniel College Business/Burns School of Real Estate.
James Huck has 40 years of industry experience working as a Geophysicist interpreting seismic for prospect generation and field development. He started his career in Texaco’s Denver offices and spent 15 years in various assignments with Texaco. Since 1995 James has worked as a consultant and as an employee for several Denver independents with operations in the Rockies and the Permian Basin.
The last several years have been focused on integrating 3D seismic with geologic and engineering data to plan and monitor drilling of 200+ horizontal wells in the Niobrara play in the DJ Basin.
James earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Geology from the University of Wyoming (1980) and is a Professional Geologist in the state of Wyoming. He is a member of the Rocky Mountain Association of Geologists and the American Association of Petroleum Geologists.
