I am interested in broad aspects of igneous petrology, the earliest history of our planet, ore deposit formation mechanisms, and new ways the geosciences are relevant to society. Below are examples of research directions that I am currently pursuing.
The main thrust of my research has been, and will continue to be using petrology, isotope geochemistry, and new mass spectrometry techniques to answer fundamental questions about when and how the continental crust formed. I am also developing a research program on crustal distillation, including critical ore deposits globally.
Ultimately, I am interested in developing projects and collaborations in the areas listed below as well as any other areas. If you have questions, comments, or other ideas please get in touch!

Originally from the great state of Michigan, I am currently an Assistant Professor at The Pennsylvania State University. Before starting at Penn State, I obtained my PhD from the University of Alberta and spent several years as a postdoc at the Carnegie Institution for Science in the Department of Terrestrial Magnetism.
