I work to answer all email promptly. We do very much encourage undergraduates to join us for summer research and thesis work during the year. However, we cannot host paid internships from international students regularly, regrettably, and I have stopped replying to such emails. Also, we are always looking for motivated grad students, so please do reach out. However, I will not reply to general post-doc inquiries from scientists outside solid Earth if there is no attempt made to explain a connection to our team's research interests.

Please see these pages if you are interested in undergraduate or graduate research in my group and do contact me to chat more.
