Carlsbad Caverns National Park, NM Download CV (pdf)		Education Brown University, Providence, RI Ph.D. Candidate, experimental petrology and geophysics, 2006-present Sc.M. (5/09) Master’s Thesis: Dynamic Oxidation of Basaltic Glass and its Effect on Magnetic Properties Advisor: Reid Cooper Earlham College, Richmond, IN B.A. in Geosciences, June 2005 Rhodes College, Memphis, TN Aug 2001-May 2003
		Research Experience Research Assistant, Brown University, August 2006-present Oxidation kinetics and diffusion of network-modifying cations in basaltic glass; nucleation and growth of magnetic ferrites; effect of chemical potential gradient on melt inclusions in olivine; modeling of melt interaction with plagioclase. Analysis is done with Rutherford backscattering spectrometer, transmission electron microscope, and electron microprobe; modeling done in MATLAB. Lunar and Planetary Institute Summer Intern, Houston, TX, June-August 2005 High pressure/high temperature phase equilibria experiments employing a piston-cylinder apparatus with analysis with electron microprobe. Supervisor: Donald Musselwhite. Senior research project, Spring 2005 Analyzed trace element composition of sandstone cores from Altiplano in Bolivia and Peru in an attempt to determine provenance. Project included use of microwave digestion to prepare samples and ICP-OES to analyze samples. Environmental geology research project, Spring 2003 Measured levels of chlordane and other persistent organic pollutants in the soil of a floodplain in Memphis, TN. Samples were prepared and run through GC-MS.
