Research Goals

My research focuses on the physical properties of silicate liquids at high pressures and temperatures, and the implications of these properties for the dynamic evolution of planetary interiors. I am particularly interested in the role of melts at structural, rheological, and/or chemical boundaries in the Earth, such as the lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary, the transition zone (410-660 km), and the core-mantle boundary. My research on melt properties aims to bring new insight into global-scale processes including plate tectonics, dehydration melting, as well as planetary accretion and destruction, and geochemical evolution under dynamic (impact) conditions.
