Tushar Mittal

Hello!

I am currently an Assistant Professor in the Geoscience Department at Penn State. I completed my Ph.D. at UC Berkeley in Spring 2020 and was a Crosby Postdoc Fellow at MIT from 2020-2022.

My research focuses on volcano science (Magmatic processes, Submarine volcanism) and planetary geophysics (Planet formation and geodynamics, Planetary science), along with cross-disciplinary work on volcano/tectonic-climate interactions.

To investigate these processes, I use two complementary approaches: developing idealized models and analyzing large observational datasets.
