I am interested in granite petrology broadly. I am currently working to understand how felsic magma chemistry evolves at the latest stages of crystallization. My samples come from all over the world and across geologic time. The goal is to eventually apply these findings to the Early Earth to gain new perspectives on the evolution of continental crust from formation to the present. I currently operate the LionChron laser ablation lab, analyzing multiple minerals, rocks, and other materials for my own work and other projects.
