About MeI received my bachelors from the University of Miami in Marine Science and Geological Sciences in 2001 and my PhD from Stony Brook University, SUNY in Geology in 2006. From there, I was a postdoctoral fellow at the Lunar and Planetary Institute and Rice University before becoming a professor at Southern Illinois University. I was at SIU for 7 years before moving back to the Lunar and Planetary Institute where I am current a senior staff scientist and manager of the geology and petrology group.
As you will see on the next few pages, my research research crosses disciplines and planetary bodies by combining investigations of basalt formation using petrology, mineralogy, geochemistry, and geophysics in order to constrain crustal and mantle evolution in the inner Solar System. My work spans multiple planetary bodies – Mars, Venus, the Earth, and the Moon – and is revolutionizing our understanding of the volatile content of planetary interiors by investigating the igneous diversity of planetary magmas. |
RECENT NEWS
My reception gallery is up at the LPI. Come see pretty pictures of my work. This will be up in the main entry for the next few months. For details about the exhibit click here.
I am excited to announce that I have started a new position as a staff scientist at the Lunar and Planetary Institute. I will miss my friends at SIU but I am excited for the new adventure.
