About Me

I am a geologist by training, but geology is just one of my many interests. I also enjoy programming, particularly with the Julia language, GIS, and open-source technology. Recreationally, I enjoy biking, hiking, camping, and rock climbing.

Currently, I am a student at the University of Waterloo, pursuing a PhD in geology. I study metamorphic petrology under the supervision of Prof. Chris Yakymchuk. My research is on fluid-fluxed melting in the Grenville Province and metamorphic reactions. This project has involved multiple field seasons in rural Ontario, as well as a variety of lab techniques and computational modelling.

I completed my MSc at Carleton University under the supervision of Prof. Fred Gaidies in collaboration with the Geologic Survey of Canada (GSC). Information about my MSc thesis and the thesis itself are available here.

I received my Hon. BSc from the University of Toronto in 2018 with a specialist in geology and a minor in geographic information systems (GIS). During my undergraduate studies, I was involved in numerous research projects related to igneous petrology. These included studies on the Sudbury Igneous Complex and the Bushveld Igneous Complex.
