I am a third year PhD student in Geophysics (School of Geosceinces) at the University of Sydney. I am currently conducting part of my research in the division of Geological and Planetary Sciences at the California Insitute of Technology in Pasadena, CA, where this site is generously hosted.

My research integrates plate tectonics with models of mantle convection. I am particularly interested in the applicability of my models to geological and geophysical observations. Observations of mantle derived topography encompases other earth science specialities such as paleogeography & eustasty, sedimentary geology and subduction zone processes.

In the final throws of my thesis
Submitted the penultimate paper to Geology, the final will be Geosphere and describe the modeling through and through.
