I am an Assistant Professor at UNC Chapel Hill. I did a postdoc at Arizona LaserChron (2019-2022) and my PhD at University of Texas at Austin (2014-2019). I am fascinated by tectonic processes and use the sedimentary record, geochronology, and geochemistry to address a variety of questions.

Dru-Ann is a new post-doc UNC. Dru-Ann did her PhD at Georgia Tech working on erosion across New Zealand using fission track thermochronology, geochronology, and Raman. In the CLAST lab, Dru-Ann will be working on several project thinking about erosion rates and the detrital record produced by large mountain belts.

Maya is a first-year PhD student leveraging the detrital monazite record to decode tectonic events. She received her master's from California State University, Northridge while working with Dr. Robinson Cecil on southern Omineca Belt granites in southeastern British Columbia. Using geochronology and geochemistry, Maya aims to straddle disciplines to unravel complex tectonic histories across time and space.
