I am an interdisciplinary geoscientist interested in how planets work, from the inside-out. Through modelling mantle convection, thermal evolution, and equilibrium chemistry, I am working towards understanding the diversity of rocky planets in the universe.
Some specific questions I have worked on previously are:
- Which types of planets can or cannot generate surface topography?
- To what extent do planets without Earth-like plate tectonics cycle volatiles like H2O and CO2 between interior and surface?
- How does host star chemistry influence the volatile composition of planetary mantles, their magmas, and their derived volcanic gases?
I also co-host and co-organise the Rocky Worlds Discussions virtual seminar series, which you can find more about .
I obtained my PhD in Earth Sciences from the University of Cambridge in 2023.
