Research

I am interested in everything magnetic! Magnetism is particularly exciting because it provides access to almost any process in space and time, including Earth and planetary evolution, solar phenomena, the environment, plate tectonics, and life itself-- just to mention a few. I cannot resist working on all these exciting topics.
