Biography

I am a planetary scientist with a strong interest in understanding the evolution of planetary bodies, with an emphasis on the Earth, Mars, and Venus. My work crosses several disciplines including igneous petrology and sedimentology to assess the surface and interior evolution of planets and environmental conditions in the past. I teach the Mineralogy class, which is one of the three Environmental Geosciences Foundation courses of the Geosciences Brown Track.
