My research interests span the fields of high-pressure high-temperature Earth and Planetary Science. My aim is to contribute to our understanding of the structure, composition, formation, and evolution of the Earth’s and planetary interiors by investigating experimentally the physical and chemical properties of geological (silicates, oxides and iron alloyed with light elements) and planetary materials (gases, ices and their compounds).
I'm currently involved in is the characterisation of new minerals in collaboration with Mark Welch and Mike Rumsey, Natural History Museum, London.
You can find out more about my role at Diamond and me on my staff profile page.
