I’m an Assistant Professor in the Dept. of Geology here at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Before coming to UIUC, I got my PhD and MS from the University of Arizona, Dept. of Geosciences. Before that, I attended Carleton College in Northfield, MN where I majored in geology. When I’m not geologizing, I enjoy riding mountain bikes (there are some surprisingly good trails in central IL), playing ultimate, reading books, and Chicago sports.
Sometimes I tweet about thermochronology, earth science, politics, books, and other interests at @HeliumHarvester.
I’m always interested in having new graduate students join our group at either the M.S. or PhD level. Please feel free to contact me at any of the addresses listed below!
