Research Interests: I am interested in Martian petrology, particularly the evolution of the mantle and crust through the use of Martian meteorites. As part of this, I am interested in the volatile budget of the Martian interior, the location of different geochemical reservoirs within the mantle, and the petogenetic relationships between Martian meteorites. Some of the instruments I work with incude: Electron Probe Micro-Analyzer (EPMA), Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometer, and X-Ray Computed Tomography (XCT).
