About Me

Hello and welcome to my home page.

I am a geologist with training in a wide variety of geochemical techniques.  My laboratory skills include mineralogical characterisation, solution and laser ablation acquisition of trace-element abundances, and analysis of radiogenic isotopic compositions.  I am interested in applying these tools to petrological problems that advance scientific knowledge of the dynamic processes operative on Earth and in a variety of bodies across our solar system.

At present, I am undertaking postdoctoral research in the field of planetary sciences at the University of Tennessee with Professor Lawrence A. Taylor.
