Petrologic characterization of martian meteorites NWA 2046 and NWA 6162 • Created and implemented combined in-situ and bulk rock petrologic and geochemical study of two martian meteorites previously hypothesized to originate from the same crater on Mars• Imaged samples using SEM at NASA Johnson Space Center. Analyzed major, minor and trace elements, in-situ using EMPA at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas, and LA-ICP-MS at the University of Houston • Analyzed major, minor trace elements in bulk rock powders utilizing University of Houston QQQ-ICP-MS• Concluded that analyzed specimens had different thermal histories, possibly linked to different group of martian meteorites (ongoing)

• Assisted ~40 students within 2 laboratory sections with weekly lab assignments covering topics in igneous and metamorphic petrology and petrography• Tutored students one on one and in small groups in Geoscience Learning Center

Heterogeneity of the Tissint martian meteorite strewn-field Supervisor: Dr. Tom Lapen• Reinterpreted two previously analyzed crystallization ages from Tissint fragments as possibly distinct basaltic lava flows from Mars, resulting in new understanding of launch-paired systematics of craters• Designed and conducted isotopic geochemical study on 8 pieces of meteorite from Tissint strewn-field to determine provenance heterogeneity of meteorites • Utilized ICP-MS, MC-ICPMS, TIMS to measure 3 radiogenic isotopes systems and ~30 elements of interest (U-Pb, Rb-Sr, Lu-Hf, HSE’s, REE’s) chemically extracted from martian meteorites• Confirmed the meteorite strewn-field was homogenous and that no exogeneous material from Mars contaminated martian meteorite samples, disproving previously unsupported theory• Published findings in Geochimica et Cosmochimica, used results to secure funding through the highly competitive NSF GRFP to investigate other martian meteorite samples associated with the same source crater

U-Pb dating of the first appearance of land animals Supervisor: Dr. Elizabeth Catlos• Researched, developed, and implemented novel mini-sonicator zircon grain separation method for challenging tuffaceous sandstones and bentonites throughout UK that bracketed significant fossils that mark the initial land colonization of animals • Extracted and dated zircon grains from cohesive K-bentonites using HR-LA-ICP-MS at The University of Texas at Austin• Published first U-Pb age of the first land-breathing animal, ~14 million years younger than previously thought and confirmed these findings in additional ash horizons

Providing direct support to policy analysts at the Office of Strategic Initiatives (Now named Office of Institutional Research and Analysis)• Translated raw data on student statistics into published reports for directors and vice chancellors • Reviewed higher education data in Excel for accuracy while directly assisting policy and data analysts • Completed projects in a fast-paced environment with minimal supervision using Excel• Contributed ideas to projects such as UT Seek college planning tool and Vertex conference

Chemical analysis of altered copper-rich hydrothermal deposits from Mexico• Performed two-week field research, made field observations, collected samples • Collected and interpreted structural and geochemical data using SEM and XRD• Created a new model of deposition associated with Cu rich strata, presented findings at GSA 2016
