Education
PhD Geosciences, Princeton University, 2005
MA Geosciences, Princeton University, 2002
BS Physics, minor Astronomy, University of Virginia, 1999
Primary Research Interests
Supercontinents, mantle convection, flood basalts, and magma dynamics. Most of my work is computational in nature, but I also enjoy venturing into the field whenever possible. See the related link above right for a more detailed description of my research.
Current Highlights
See the Discovery Channel News story highlighting a paper on work with N. Coltice, H. Bertrand, Y. Ricard, and P. Rey. The paper, which addresses large-scale warming of the mantle at the origin of flood basalts over supercontinents, appears in the May, 2007 issue of Geology (Coltice2007.pdf).
