Personal profile
Personal profile
I am an early career isotope geochemist, having completed my PhD in 2022 on the melt-phase geochemistry and magmatic timescales of Ōkataina Volcano, Aotearoa New Zealand.
My current research at Royal Holloway focusses of using stable cadmium isotopes to better constrain the Earth's ancient marine organic carbon cycle, both in a steady state and during periods of rapid environmental change. This project is part of the DISTILL research programme headed by Dr. Alex Dickson.
My research interests span all aspects of analytical geochemistry, especially isotopes, and applying geochemistry to addressing challenges facing current society such as natural hazards and climate change. I have a broad experience of clean laboratory techniques and various analytical instrumentation (e.g. TIMS, MC-ICP, ICP-OES, SEM, FTIR, etc.), as well as working as part of an international, multi-disciplinary research team.
