His research group uses supercomputers to study how mountains evolve over millions of years by simulating the uplift of mountain landscapes and their interactions with erosional agents like rivers and glaciers in numerical models. He also enjoys finding fun and innovative ways to teach, with courses ranging from an open online Python programming course for geoscientists to a video-lecture-based course on Earth dynamics. As a native English speaker, he is quite pleased to see the development of a BSc degree taught fully in English.
