Overview

I am a geochemistry PhD student investigating what novel stable isotope systems can tell us about the formation, differentiation, and temporal evolution of sanukitoid magmas. I am working in collaboration with the Geological Survey of Western Australia, the University of Bristol, and Monash University (Australia).

Previously I have completed a BA (hons) in Natural Sciences (2017-2020) and a MSci in Earth Sciences (2020-2021), both at the University of Cambridge. The title of my MSci project was "Thallium Stable Isotopes as a Tracer of Early Continental Crust Formation".
