SZ4D Community Meeting, Scientific meeting, NSF-funded, Houston, TX (Nov 13-16, 2022)

​

Community Network for Eruption Response (CONVERSE), In-person workshop, NSF-funded, Albuquerque, NM (Aug 8-11, 2022)

​

Volatiles from Source to Surface, A GeoPRISMS Workshop, NSF-funded, Bozeman, MT (May 23-26, 2022)

​

Diffusion Modeling, Goldschmidt 2020 post-meeting workshop, Virtual (June 29-30, 2020)

A two-day workshop covering the underlying principles, analytical and numerical techniques, and uncertainties in applying diffusion modeling to magmatic and metamorphic systems. Covered basic background through a series of short talks, but mostly, emphasized gaining practical coding skills to start own diffusion models using Excel® and trying out more sophisticated programming tools like Matlab®. Several exercises encompassing analytical solutions and numerical finite differencing in 1D (and potentially 2D), all grounded in real case studies. Discussion of uncertainties, potential pitfalls, unsolved diffusion mysteries, and areas that we as a community can help improve on in the years to come.

Funding, Goldschmidt 2020 workshop, Virtual (June 25, 2020)

Funding is what makes the research world work, yet many of us frequently fail to get it. Heard from and met with members of the world's leading science funding agencies, such as NSF, GNS, and JST. Learned what makes or breaks a proposal, and got the inside scoop on the selection process. A panel-based discussion and followed up by interaction directly with each of the panelists in small groups.

Student Engagement in Higher Education, Goldschmidt 2020 workshop, Virtual (June 23, 2020)

Student engagement (SE) is what a student brings to Higher Education in terms of goals, aspirations, and values and how these are shaped by their experience as students. This workshop is designed to provide guidance and strategies for students and academic staff wishing to initiate, sustain, or extend student-staff partnerships. The aims of the workshop are threefold, i) explore the ways in which students act as partners in learning and teaching, ii) identify strategic and sustainable practices of engaging students as partners, iii) discuss the risks and challenges inherent to partnership and find suggestions for addressing them.

Earth Science Meets Data Science, Goldschmidt 2020 pre-meeting workshop, Virtual (June 22, 2020)

​

alphaMELTS, American Geophysical Union pre-meeting workshop, Washington, DC (December 8-9, 2018)

Introduction to underlying thermodynamics, an illustration of the capabilities and potential applications of individual MELTS-type models and firsthand experience running different MELTS programs and tools.

Magma Chamber Simulator (MCS), Geological Society of America pre-meeting workshop, Seattle, WA (October 20-21, 2017)

Hands on experience and familiarization of running the MCS (inputs, steps to run code) and effective utilization of the output. Gained an understanding of how to utilize recharge assimilation fractional crystallization (RAFC) model by modeling various scenarios (e.g. assimilation fractional crystallization (AFC) and recharge fractional crystallization (RFC)).

Navigating the Publication Process as an Early Career Researcher, IAVCEI Scientific Assembly pre-meeting workshop, Portland, OR (August 13, 2017).

Exploration of the publishing process. Special topics covered include how to put ideas into a coherent form, make your science “pop”, and being a constructive reviewer.

Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (SIMS), NSF-supported SIMS facility annual workshop

University of California, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA (February 27-March 3, 2017)

Introduced to practical applications of the SIMS analytical technique while receiving hands-on experience preparing samples, using the SEM, SIMS 1270 and 1290, and performing data reduction.

Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ (January 4-6, 2017)

Introduced to the theory, both physics, and mechanics, behind the SIMS technique (e.g. transportation of ions and fundamentals of sputtering), as well as data reduction and analysis. Gained hands-on experience preparing samples and using the Cameca 6f and nanoSIMS.
