Summary
I am currently an Honorary Visiting Researcher at Imperial College London, with interests in geophysics, geodynamics, geology and the energy transition. Previously at Imperial, I completed my PhD in Geology and Geophysics (2014-2018) and was a Postdoctoral Research Associate in Basin Modelling (2019-2020).
For my usual role, I am a Research Scientist at Australia's national research agency, CSIRO. My current research is focused on understanding subsurface hydrogen migration. I am leading projects aimed at bringing together computational, physical, geochemical and biological aspects of modelling subsurface hydrogen migration.
I am always happy to hear from students interested in pursuing research in the above fields.
