Profile Summary

I study the chemistry and properties of natural and synthetic samples to understand the evolution of the Earth, Moon, Mars, and other planetary bodies. I conduct fieldwork, laboratory analyses and experiments, and modeling. I am familiar with a wide range of analytical methods, including X-ray diffraction, optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, electron microprobe analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, and secondary ion mass spectrometry.
