I received my MESci from Cardiff University in 2016 and my PhD in 2021 from Monash University. My research primarily focuses on using numerical models to investigate large scale processes, from geodynamics to groundwater flow. I have previously published work on how subduction zones evolve from incipient to self-sustaining subduction, as well as investigating how mountains form, with a focus on the Himalayas, where over 2500 km of convergence are accomodated within the Tibetan Plateau and Himalayan orogen.
My current research is focusing on linking the scales at which geologists look at, from the mineral scale (< 1 mm) to the geodynamics of convergent margins (> 1000 km). To do this, I utilise a numerical code called Underworld, which leverages PETSc to solve a wide range of equations to model processes that occur on Earth.
