Positions
- 2019 - 2021 - Graduate Research Assistant, OSU, NSF-funded project to study C-He isotopes at Loihi Seamount and implications for mantle dynamics. Prepared 53 submarine glass samples from Loihi seamount and analyzed for CO2-He concentrations and isotopes in melt/vesicles by noble gas mass spectrometry (MS), trace elements by laser ablation-ICP-MS.
- 2018 - Graduate Teaching Assistant, OSU, Argon Geochronology Laboratory. Aid in lab operations, mineral separation processes to prepare samples for Ar-Ar geochronology.
