To prospective students interested in geochemical research:
I am relocating to West Chester University in Fall 2025! I'm afraid this means I will not be accepting new graduate student applicants for the foreseeable future.
For undergraduate and graduate students enrolled at WCU, I look forward to setting up a research group and working on research projects together! Check back early next year if you are interested in geochemical research, whether in the lab or through computer modeling methods.
I encourage students belonging to underrepresented groups of all kinds to apply to work with me in my research group. The geosciences as a discipline has a poor track record for supporting and training a diverse work force, and in addition to being a structural injustice that unfairly limits opportunities for many people, this shortcoming diminishes the field and all of our work. I am committed to helping to rectify this inequity, and I pledge to support students of diverse racial, ethnic, cultural, gender, sexual orientation, ability, and economic backgrounds.
For undergraduate students: There are several ways you can gain research experience as a student! With faculty approval, a student can enroll in independent study credit for a semester; this would allow you to work on a research project or just gain some experience while receiving academic credit. Sometimes a funded research project can also support an undergraduate conducting research hours during the summer or the academic year; tasks for these projects have ranged from sample processing to chemistry labwork, writing computer code, and designing science education and outreach activities. Each faculty member can mentor and supervise a number of students at a time, though there is a limit to this in any one semester (simply due to time available). If opportunities like these would interest you, please contact me to set up a meeting and discuss your background and interests.
For graduate students: I also work with graduate students conducting their own independent research projects and writing a paper or thesis! This is a great fit for students who are interested in pursuing petrology, geochemistry, and/or computer modeling research during their graduate studies. Please contact me (email is a good way!) to see if I can accommodate additional students right now, and to tell me a little about your background and what types of projects would interest you for research. I can then update you about my current status and the kinds of research currently underway in my group.
