Bio

I joined the faculty at the University of Georgia in 2026. Prior to that I was a faculty member at the Montanuniversity Leoben where I received my habilitation (Venia legendi), postdoctoral researcher at the University of Oxford and a non-stipendiary lecturer at St. Anne's College (constituent college of U. Oxford).

When not looking at rocks for work, you'll usually find me and the family in the mountains, also generally looking at rocks.
