Interests
My research interests revolve around better understanding tectono-magmatic processes. Presently, I am interested in utilizing observations from experimental petrology, isotopic geochemistry, and geodynamic models to further our understanding of the nature and compositional characteristics of the subducted slab contribution to the mantle wedge, as well as the composition of primary melts formed in the mantle wedge at subduction zones
