I’m an experimental and computational geoscientist with a passion for volcanology. Broadly speaking, I investigate volcanic processes across a wide range of spatiotemporal scales in order to understand the mechanisms that give rise to complex eruption phenomena observed in nature. I have a background in experimental rock deformation and computational volcanology, coupled with hands-on machine engineering and programming experience. Past and current research topics include (1) Micro- to meso-scale rock deformation and fluid flow; (2) Reactive fluid flow in geologic systems; (3) Eruption triggers and dynamics; and (4) External forcing of volcanic hazards, including the impacts of climate change. I’m also a firm believer in open-access, a principle I advocate for in my roles as founder and Editor-in-Chief of Volcanica, Secretary of the Free Journal Network, and Senior Advisory Council member of EarthArXiv.
