Postdoctoral Fellow
Thesis: Free and Forced Convection in Earth's Upper Mantle
Advisor:
Chris Kincaid
Research Interests
My research focuses on the use of fluid dynamic models to further our undestanding of Earth's deep interior and the processes related to mantle convection. In particular, I am interested in melt generation and migration processes at subduction zones and the interaction between mantle plumes and the mid-ocean ridge system. I employ a variety of modeling techniques to these ends, including 2- and 3-D numerical methods and laboratory modeling.
