I research critical minerals and magmatic systems. My research aims to integrate petrology, mineralogy, geochemistry, geochronology, modelling, and machine learning to understand the chemical, physical, and thermal evolution of magmas, their eruptions, and their associated mineralized ore bodies. Particular research interests are: -Critical minerals, the geochemical evolution of rare element-rich pegmatite ore bodies, their effects on critical zone geochemistry, and using this knowledge for critical mineral exploration efforts. -Determining the evolution of large crustal magmas and their eruption mechanisms. -Using supervised and unsupervised machine learning to understand magma evolution, regional volcanic deposits, and critical minerals.
