I am interested in the processes that shape our planet. In particular those that involve fluid flow or fluid-like behavior, with most of my work focused on volcanic and magmatic processes.
- Volatiles in magma: bubble growth, coalescence, fragmentation
- Triggering and dynamics of volcanic eruptions
- Magma flow in volcanic conduits: controls on eruption styles
- Volcano deformation
- Magma chambers
- Fluid flow in porous materials
- Thermal and thermochemical convection
