Research Interests

I have broad interests across physical volcanology. In particular, my research focuses on the processes associated with explosive volcanism including the generation and emplacement of volcanic plumes and pyroclastic density currents, through the application of multi-disciplinary approaches and techniques. I also enjoy the applied aspects of work in this discipline, including the study of volcanic activity through volcano monitoring and studies related to hazard assessment and mitigation. I work in direct connection with several volcano observatories in the Caribbean and Latin America.
