Students working with me in the Skidmore Department of Geosciences can gain experience with fieldwork, sample preparation, laboratory techniques including Raman spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), data analysis and numerical modelling, and scientific writing.

Students interested in conducting research projects are welcome to contact me to discuss ideas and the scope of the proposed work.

Meet the lab!
