Research Overview

I am a PhD student at Rice University working with Prof. Cin-Ty Lee specializing in the deep lithosphere of volcanic arcs.  Much of my research involves unlocking the P-T-X-t (pressure-temperature-composition-time) histories of mantle and lower crustal xenoliths.  My PhD work focuses on xenoliths from the Sierra Nevada Batholith in California, a classic type locale to study continental arc evolution.
