Curriculum Vitae, Brief Version

Education:

  • 2000: Bachelor of Science, Geology and Barrett Honors College, Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ.
  • 2004: Master of Science, Geophysics and Space Physics, University of California, Los Angeles, CA.
  • 2006: Doctor of Philosophy, Geophysics and Space Physics, University of California, Los Angeles, CA.

Experience:

  • 1997-2000: Undergraduate research with James Tyburczy, Arizona State University. Focus on developing high pressure multi-anvil experiments to measure ultralow frequency electrical conductivity spectrum of olivine compacts at mantle temperatures and pressures. Quantitative modeling and improvements in fabrication techniques for multi-anvil experiments.
  • 2000-2006: Graduate research with Paul Tackley, University of California, Los Angeles. Global and regional scale mantle convection modeling, new code development, dynamics associated with melting and two-phase flow and its application to Earth's upper and lowermost mantle. Structure and dynamics of Earth's deep mantle, core-mantle boundary heat flow, and core-mantle interactions.
  • 2006-2007: Post-doctoral research at the Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris, in collaboration with Stephane Labrosse (now at ENS-Lyon). Investigation of the dynamics of Earth's deep mantle and core, and thermal history of the Earth and its relationship to deep mantle structure.
  • 2007-: Post-doctoral research at the University of British Columbia, in collaboration with Mark Jellinek. Investigation of dynamics associated with melting and freezing, from magma chamber to planetary scales.

Teaching:
