RESEARCH INTERESTS
I am primarily interested in doing computer simulations of the evolution of the magma chamber and wall rock system in space and time. I mainly focus on two research areas.
First, I do research to unravel the crustal heat flow and rheology associated with magma emplacement based on field observations, chemical analyses and numerical simulations.
Second, I study the process of metamorphic fluid flow in the pluton-wall rock system including numerical simulations of metamorphic reaction progress as well as reactive fluid flow.
