I am a geochemist/petrologist who is fascinated by the fundamental processes that drive the chemical and physical evolution of the Earth's crust and mantle. Through a combination of fieldwork, petrology, isotope geochemistry and numerical models, I study how heat and mass are transferred through the continental crust and mantle.
At Penn State, I am building a crustal evolution research group and am looking for tenacious students/post-docs to join the program!
