I completed my DPhil (PhD) at the Department of Earth Sciences, University of Oxford, UK, in 2013, where I studied the thermal and structural evolution of parts of the Himalayan Range and Tibetan Plateau. Please see my Research and Publications sections for further information. I then worked as a lecturer and postdoctoral research fellow at the Institute of Geosciences, JGU Mainz, and subsequently joined the Colorado School of Mines, USA, as an Assistant Professor of Metamorphic Geology. I have now returned at last to Oxford as the Associate Professor of Petrology. Please see my Teaching section for more information and my Links for additional material of interest. I frequently review for many journals, including Nature, Scientific Reports, Nature Communications, Nature Geoscience, Geology, Journal of Metamorphic Geology, and Journal of Petrology (and many others). I am an Associate Editor for the journal Geoscience Frontiers and Earth Science, Systems, and Society (ES-cubed), and on the editorial board for Precambrian Research and the Journal of Metamorphic Geology. I am also on the committee of the Metamorphic Studies Group of the Geological Society of London. I have on-going collaborations with many researchers worldwide, including those at the Colorado School of Mines, USA; the University of Cambridge, UK; the University of St Andrews, UK; the Earth Observatory, Singapore; Simon Fraser University, Canada; China University of Geosciences, Beijing (CUGB), and others.
