Bio/Description

Title: Associate Professional Specialist

Group: Thermal Ionization Mass Spectrometer Laboratory (TIMS Lab)

Area(s): Geology

Research Summary: As a researcher, I find myself motivated to better understand the rates and sources of geologic processes, and largely approach these types of scientific questions using radiogenic isotope geochemistry and geochronology, while integrating other sub-disciplinary approaches such as sedimentology, structural geology or geophysics. My research interests include large igneous provinces, batholith formation, supervolcano eruptions, igneous petrology, global climate change in deep time, economic geology, thermochronology, extensional tectonics and the development of high-precision geochronology.
