About
I am a Presidential Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Geosciences at Princeton University. My research combines field work, geo/thermochronology, petrology, radiogenic isotope geochemistry, major-/trace-element geochemistry, and numerical models to study the processes that make and modify continental crust.
Peruse through the above tabs to learn more about my work. Please feel free to contact me if you have questions or ideas for collaboration.
Update
I will be joining the faculty in the School of Earth and Sustainability at Northern Arizona University in Fall 2024, where I will also establish a laser ablation split stream laboratory. Stay tuned.
I found a cool hat in Death Valley.
