In search of the evidence of life and how rocks preserve it.
My research focuses on biosignature preservation, iron-rich sedimentary systems, and the geological processes that influence our ability to recognize evidence of ancient life. I use petrography, Raman spectroscopy, microscopy, and complementary analytical techniques to investigate terrestrial rocks and their implications for planetary exploration.
Featured Research
Biosignature Preservation
Investigating iron-rich sedimentary rocks and the preservation of potential evidence of life.
Analytical Methods
Utilizing petrography, Raman spectroscopy, microscopy & imaging, and electron-dispersive x-ray spectroscopy.
Planetary Analogs
Understanding terrestrial geology to contextualize planetary exploration.
Advanced Thermometry
Elucidating formation and diagnetic maturity via fluid inclusion microthermometry and Raman geothermometry.
Research Accomplishments
My current scholarly work includes a manuscript in review and two in preparation, alongside my completed master's thesis, and multiple conference abstracts and presentations.
About
About
I am a geologist and astrobiologist interested in the intersection of sedimentary geology, geochemistry, mineralogy, and the search for evidence of life beyond Earth. My work examines how geological materials record and preserve information about past environments. I am currently preparing to pursue doctoral research that builds on these interests.
