Welcome to my site! I am a geoscience PhD candidate in the Earth Evolution Group at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. I use a combination of radiogenic (U-Pb, Lu-Hf) and stable (O) isotopes alongside zircon trace element systematics to investigate the growth and destruction of continental crust. I previously worked in the WiscAr Lab (2018-20), where I developed a work-flow for a new noble gas mass spectrometer + used 40Ar/39Ar geochronology to characterize recent volcanic activity in the Andean Southern Volcanic Zone.
My research interests center on using geochemistry and petrology to understand subduction and plate tectonic processes through geologic time, the evolution of Earth’s geochemcial reservoirs, and feedbacks between solid earth and climate processes. I am also interested in method development and instrumentation for mass spectrometry. My work is partially supported by the NSF GRFP.
