About Me

My research interests lie in high-pressure mineral physics and the behavior of geological and planetary materials under extreme pressure–temperature conditions relevant to Earth and planetary interiors. My work combines static compression experiments using diamond anvil cells, dynamic compression through laser shock experiments, and first-principles density functional theory (DFT) computations to investigate phase transitions, equations of state, thermoelastic properties, and transport behavior of minerals and melts at extreme conditions. Through these approaches, I seek to better understand deep Earth processes and the interiors of terrestrial planets.
