My primary project focuses broadly on continental tectonics and the long-term tectonic evolution of the Sierra Nevada, CA through the utilization and development of detrital multi-mineral geo and thermochronology and thermal modelling. 

My secondary project focuses on investigating eruption dynamics of the 55 ka and most recent explosive deposit (El Cajete pyroclastic deposit) of the resurgent caldera in northern NM, Valles caldera through stratigraphic, petrographic, and granulometric analysis.
