Specialty Areas

Knowledge of the composition, structure, and processes in the solid earth; experience in applying advanced computational fluid dynamics methods to elucidate key physical processes involved with the Genesis Flood; research skill and experience in radioisotope physics with results which support the conclusion that the earth is only thousands, not billions, of years old; research experience in computational population genetics which demonstrate that neo-Darwinian theory is indefensible; teaching experience at a graduate level in these and related topics.
