About me

​

I am a petrologist who studies how the properties and processes of melts, magmas and minerals affect planetary features. My research involves conducting experiments to provide quantitative information that can be applied to natural phenomena and the study of natural samples. 

I am particularly interested in the rheology of silicate and carbonate melts, and in diffusion and its effect on planetary dynamics.

Research​

​

My current research focuses on the viscosity of carbonate and extremely depolymerised silicate melts. My materials science-based approach keeps me involved in a wide range of geoscience research fields. For a full overview of my studies, please visit my Research page.
