We are interested in the dynamics and evolution of the deep interior of the Earth and other planets. Currently, the members of our group are working on a number of different projects including structure and dynamics of melt reservoirs at the core-mantle boundary, physical properties of partially molten rocks, interaction between deformation and melt migration, coupled thermal and orbital evolution of planets, and chemical signature of fluid flow during contact metamorphism of crustal rocks.
We are always looking for new undergraduate and graduate members of the group. We also welcome collaboration with high school science teachers from Montgomery and Prince George's county schools.
