Besim Dragovic

Assistant Professor

My principle research interests broadly address the metamorphic processes involved at convergent plate boundaries. This comprises (i) the development and application of methods to  quantify the timescales and rates of metamorphism, (ii) understanding the role of fluids in metamorphic reactions, and (iii) evaluating the assumption of chemical equilibrium during metamorphism. ​

Allison Brown

Ph.D. student

Allison joined us in 2020 after receiving a B.S. in Geology from Florida State University. Allison's research involves the use of non-traditional stable isotopes (e.g. Mo, Fe) to better constrain the source characteristics and the evolving redox state of the subducting oceanic crust. Allison is working on mafic and ultramafic lithologies from the Voltri Massif in the Ligurian Alps.

Nandana Goswami

Ph.D. student

Nandana joined our group in 2021, after receiving a M.S. from Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) in Kolkata, India. Nandana's research involves garnet and zircon petrochronology of mafic granulites and metamorphosed banded iron formations (BIFs) from the Archean Pikwitonei Granulite Domain in the nortwest Superior Province (Manitoba).
