About Me

I am a research geologist in the Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. My primary research interests are the geochemical evolution of the Earth's oceans over the past billion years and how these records are preserved or altered.

At MIT, I help run the Carbonate Research Laboratory (Bergmann Lab), which specializes in studying sedimentary archives of environmental change over deep time and measuring carbonate clumped isotopes on our Nu Perspective IRMS. I also help run the Center for Uranium-series Geochemistry (McGee Lab), which works on reconstructing climate over the last several hundred thousand years and U-Th dating of carbonates using our Nu Plasma II multi-collector ICP-MS.

In addition to my research, I am passionate about teaching lab concepts, learning new skills in the lab, and optimizing space and equipment for high quality research and ease of use.
