About
I am a Lecturer in Geology at the School of Ocean and Earth Sciences. My research centres on volcanology and igneous processes, with a particular focus on improving the diagnostics and forecasting of volcanic eruptions. I employ a wide range of methods, including geological field studies, crystal-scale diffusion kinetics and isotope geochemistry, numerical modelling of magma dynamics, and machine learning approaches. Current investigations focus on the chemical and thermomechanical processes within magmatic systems to better understand the origins of precursory signals - such as surface deformation and seismicity - that often precede eruptions.

Write about yourself in the third person. Aim for 100 to 150 words covering the main points about who you are and what you currently do. Clear, simple language is best. You can include specialist or technical terms.
You’ll be able to add details about your research, publications, career and academic history to other sections of your staff profile.
