DEPARTMENT OF EARTH AND PLANETARY SCIENCES

With my background in physics and computational physics I study geodynamic factors which influence the development of life on Earth and potentially other planets. Subduction zones play a key role in cycling carbon and other volatiles between the surface and deep Earth. My research focuses on how this cycle is impacted by mantle geodynamics and rock microphysics.  As a part of Dr. Mulyukova’s group, I plan to further my understanding of rock deformation and geodynamics. Beyond academia, I enjoy nature and playing Dungeons and Dragons.
