About Me
I’m a metamorphic petrologist and geochemist interested in metamorphic phase equilibria and chemical kinetics as they relate to crustal evolution, convergent tectonics, and subduction zone dynamics. Essentially, I'm interested in how mountains are formed and how the materials that make up the crust are recycled back into the Earth.
I’m an Assistant Professor of Geosciences at Wellesley College, and am looking to start building out my research group. If you’re a Wellesley College student interested in metamorphic petrology and tectonics research, please reach out!
