Research Interests

My research focuses on the mechanical behavior of rocks at high temperature and pressure and on the interaction between the processes of deformation and metamorphic reaction. I use high-pressure experimentation, in-situ synchrotron x-ray diffraction, scanning and transmission electron microscopy for analysis of samples, and numerical modeling. In combination, these research tools allow us to better understand the grain-scale processes that control the large-scale mechanical behavior of Earth’s materials including those exhibited in mantle convection and earthquakes. Current projects include study of quartz and olivine deformation using synchrotron x-ray diffraction, elastic plastic self consistent modeling of plastic deformation and finite element modeling of microstresses around included phases in minerals.
