I am a solid Earth geophysicist with a focus on understanding the Earth's dynamic interior. Specifically, my research centers on the evolution of continental cratons, which are the oldest surviving rocks on our planet. To explore this, I develop numerical models of mantle convection to analyze the long-term evolution of these cratons.
