Research Interests

My research interests include volcanic lighting, lightning induced volcanic spheres, volcanic plume dynamics, ash aggregation, and the electrical properties of ash. My masters research focused the electrical resistivity and conductivity of volcanic ash in comparison to the properties (shape, size and chemical composition) of ash to examine the role these properties play in ash conductivity.

Current Projects

My current research project is focused on understanding the chemistry of lightning induced volcanic spheres
