ABOUT

My research focuses on using sedimentary rocks to reconstruct ancient subduction zones and continental collisions. I utilize a combination of field work, sedimentology, stratigraphy, geo-/thermochronology, and provenance proxies. I use the evolution of ancient forearc and foreland basins to explore the links between geodynamics, tectonics, topography, magmatism, and biogeography.

​

I am a Provost's Early Career Postdoctoral Fellow in the Jackson School of Geosciences at the University of Texas at Austin.
