I regularly teach EES:1050, one of the foundation courses in the ENVS curriculum that exposes students to a broad range of Earth processes that impact environmental science.  I also periodically teach courses that introduce environmental science students to programming techniques (Python, Visual Basic, Fortran) that are useful in their studies and research.  I’ve published research papers on a broad range of topics including petrology, tectonics, stratigraphy, bolide impacts and paleontology; presently, the goal of my main research efforts are to understand mineral reaction kinetics at high temperature and pressure.
