Research Interests
The focus of my research involves multidisciplinary studies to unravel the tectonic history of mountain belts and their evolution from the Archean to the present using of applied metamorphic petrology, structural geology, geochemistry, and geochronology. I am particularly interested in the differences in orogenic processes from the Archean to the present and how these differences are manifested in the rock record. My current research focuses on the production, transport, and emplacement of melt in gneiss domes and the dynamic relationship of these processes with respect to deformation and strain partitioning in transpressive and transtensive tectonic regimes.
