Research Interest:
I study water deep within Earth, particularly on the properties of hydrous minerals, water-mineral chemistry and water cycling in planetary interiors. The goal of my research is to track deep water through their unique physical properties, and understand the evolution of water through Earth’s geological history.
My extensive experience and training in my early career allow me to utilize a large variety of research tools covering both computation and experimentation. I have experience calculating a range of materials in first-principles simulation, from rare-earth elements to dense hydrous minerals. In the laboratory, I have worked with crystals, glass, liquids, aggregates, and minerals to understand the cycling of materials in Earth’s deep interiors.
