I came to Brown from an Associate Scientist position in the Department of Geology and Geophysics at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. I am a member of the American Geophysical Union (AGU), a fellow of the Mineralogical Society of America, and was secretary of the Tectonophysics section of the AGU. Member: National Academy of Sciences (2024) and American Academy of Arts and Sciences (2024). I currently serve as the Vice President for Research.
