Academic Background
I did my undergraduate and MS work in geology at the National Institute of Geological Sciences at the University of the Philippines. I then did my Ph.D. at the University of Michigan. This was followed by a couple of years of postdoctoral work at the Byrd Polar Research Center at Ohio State University.

Spring 2008 Field Trip

My research interests are in tectonics and petrology. I use geochemistry and geochronology coupled with field observations to solve tectonic and petrologic problems. 

• Geochronologic constraints on evolution of Ross orogen, Antarctica
• The SWEAT hypothesis from an Antarctic perspective (in collaboration with Tim Paulsen and Anne Grunow)
• Timing and setting of Karoo large igneous province, southern Africa
• Tectonic setting and emplacement of Palawan ophiolite
• (U-Th/He) thermochronometric constraints on the origin of the Dry Valleys, Antarctica
• Tectonic evolution of the Philippines
