A Little About
​Myself

I'm a geochemist specializing in the investigation of hydrothermal alteration in ancient terrains. My Ph.D. pursuits are centered around refining our understanding of Snowball Earth glaciations during the Paleoproterozoic era, with a specific emphasis on harnessing the potential of large igneous province dikes for insights.
Presently, my research is directed towards the examination of volcanic activities in diverse regions: Eastern Oregon, Kamchatka Russia, and Karoo South Africa. These investigations are being conducted under the esteemed mentorship of Dr. Bindeman, a prominent figure in the field, within the highly regarded Stable Isotopes Laboratory at the University of Oregon.
