Research

My research interests include shear zone evolution, mid and lower crustal rheology, mountain building, continental assembly, and rock deformation. Some of the tools I have used include microstructural analysis, in-situ geochronology, EBSD, and field mapping of deformed structures. My current research is focused on earthquake occurrence and stress amplification in the lower crust.
