About Me
I am a geologist and Assistant Professor in the School of Earth and Space Exploration at Arizona State University who leads a multidisciplinary research program that studies the role of magma in the formation and evolution of planets, known as the EPIC lab.
I also have deep interests in improving science communication, and broadening the participation of underrepresented communities in the sciences. To this aim I work on projects with a variety of communities at Arizona State University, including at the intersection of the arts and science, and have previously served as Vice Chair of the Council of the American Geophysical Union, the largest professional organization of Earth and space scientists.
