ROCK ON!!!

    I am a fifth year Ph.D. graduate student in the Dept. of Geological Sciences at the University of Michigan  where I am co-advised by Professor Rod Ewing and Professor Udo Becker

My research combines computer-based modeling and microscopy to better understand oxidation and dissolution processes on mineral surfaces, specifically uranium dioxide. 

This past summer (2005), I had the opportunity to perform research at Pacific Northwest National Laboratories under the guidance of Dr. Kevin Rosso and Dr. Eugene Ilton.  In this on-going collaboration, we are investigating the interaction of uranium 6+ with magnetite surfaces using both experimental and computational techniques.

Stop by our new Computational Mineralogy Group web-site at U of M!

I graduated from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign with a B.S. in Geological Sciences in 2001.
