Curriculum Vitae

My research is centered around isotope geochemistry and paleoenvironment reconstruction. I am especially interested in analyzing rock and sediment records by using stable and radiogenic metal isotopes as primary tools. To better understand climate change in Earth’s history, I intend to explore well preserved sediment records that are collected from various biogeochemical settings and study the cycle of carbon and other elements and continental weathering. By joining Dr. Jacobson’s lab group and working on time-integrated record analysis, I hope I can further my knowledge on the behavior of isotopes such as their transport and fractionation and use that to explain findings in my research.
