I’m hiring! If you’re looking to do an MSc and are interested in all things deformation, mineral deposits, and resources for the green energy transition, please visit my Prospective Students page.
My research interests are broad, but currently my main focus areas include:
- What are the tectonic and structural controls on where mineral deposits form (be they massive sulphide, orogenic gold, or rare metal pegmatite)?
- What happens when these mineral deposits are deformed and metamorphosed (in particular, what happens to any critical and precious metals they contain)?
- And what determines how the crust deforms? (I’m talking all things rheology, strain localization, and shear zone geometry here)
I particularly enjoy borrowing methods and ideas from a variety of fields to tackle complex questions, and to try identify overarching controls on geological processes. If you find my work interesting and have any questions, or are interested in collaborating, feel free to contact me!
