Biography

Research in my group primarily focuses on the study of volcanic rocks to understand how volcanoes develop and their potential impact on the environment. This research is done through detailed chemical analysis of rocks and minerals, using a comprehensive range of analytical techniques available in the University of Iowa MATFab facility (SEM and electron microprobe, XRF and pXRF, solution and laser ablation ICP-MS). I teach courses in Geochemistry and Analytical Methods that are electives for the Environmental Science major.
