Abbas Ghandi Home Page Yosemite National Park, California, June 2007  Yellowston National Park June 2008  Summary I am a third year Transportation Technology and Policy PhD student at the Institute of Transportation Studies at University of California, Davis. Right now I am doing research on Fossil Fuel area through Sustainable Transportation Energy Pathways (STEPS) program. Also hydrogen and biofuels areas are two other energy fields that I am interested. Current Project Currently I am studying the relation between National and International Oil Companies. In particular I am doing research on National Iranian Oil Company’s oil and gas Buy Back Service Contracts. Buy Back Service Contract is a very special kind of Contract that Iranian government has been persistent to use in its relation with International Oil Companies.
