Basics
I am a geomorphologist, with interests in fluvial processes, tectonics, and thermochronology. My approach uses numerical models to explore and understand the physical processes that shape Earth's surface. Currently, I am a postdoctoral research associate in the Tectonics and Thermochronology Group at Syracuse University and am collaborating with the Surface Processes Group in the Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences Department at MIT.
