Igneous rocks represent probes into Earth’s deep interiors, and are closely tied to regional tectonics and geodynamics. My overarching research interests revolve around understanding the processes of magma generation and evolution, along with their implications for the planet’s chemical differentiation and evolution, and connections with tectonics and geodynamics. I am a geochemist who approaches these research questions with a combination of analytical tools and geochemical modeling. More details on my research interests can be found on my Research page.
