Overview
I am a PhD student in the Geodynamics group in Cardiff, principally supervised by Prof. Huw Davies, as well as colleagues from the University of Bristol.
I use 3D numerical models to study the Earth's mantle dynamics, particularly in the mid-mantle, and constraining that dynamics using seismological observations.

Teaching
As a tutor, I have supported the teaching of 'EA4311/EAT410 - Earth and Environmental System Modelling and Applications', a 4th year module covering the basics of numerical modelling methods (and the mathematical and computational pre-requisites) motivated by Earth Science problems, in AY 22/23 and 23/24. I also demonstrated this module in AY 21/22.
I have also demonstrated various other practicals (usually concerned with mathematical and computational methods, but not always) and on several field trips.
