Personal profile
Biography
My PhD, entitled "Zircon as a recorder of the oxygen fugacity of magmas" was carried out at Imperial College London from 2008 - 2012 under the supervision of Andrew Berry. From 2012 - 2014 I worked at the University of Bristol, studying the origin of super-deep diamonds from the Juina region, Brazil. At RSES I have worked with Hugh O'Neill, examining the mechanisms of trace element substitution into a range of minerals, and John Mavrogenes, studying the geochemistry and geochronology of ore-forming processes.
I am now a Geologist at Geoscience Australia and an Honorary Lecturer at ANU.
Qualifications
PhD (Imperial), MA (Cantab)
Research Interests
I am interested in trace element partitioning (particularly in relation to melt structure and crystal chemistry), diamond petrogenesis, stable and radiogenic isotopes as tracers of melt and fluid sources, and the geochronology of ore formation and magmatism.
