Welcome! Among other pursuits, I am a geologist. I study modern and ancient rocks using field, analytical, and modelling work. My expertise is in metamorphic geochemistry, geochronology, and petrology, which I use to probe the history of Earth's lithosphere and surface.
I am currently a Research Technician in the School of Earth & Environmental Sciences at the University of St Andrews (UK), working with Dr. Eva Stueeken on gas-source (C-H-O-N-S isotopes) and coupled IC-ICP mass spectrometry (P speciation), and with Dr. Nicholas Gardiner in the St Andrews Geochronology Laboratory (StAGE) focused on LA-ICPMS (for radiogenic isotopes). I am also part of the Petrology at St Andrews (PAStA) working group, which includes numerous academic and research staff, postdocs, and students.
Starting January 2027, I will be an Assistant Professor at the University of Houston (TX, USA). If you are interested in joining my research group as a student or postdoc, please get in touch!
