Background I have a background in geophysics with a focus on Bayesian inversion of thermochemical properties of the lithosphere subject to available data and their uncertainties. Research interests and expertise I am interested in integrating geophysical and geochemical observations with tectonic plate reconstructions to produce data-driven studies of Earth dynamics. Such integration of data with models can unearth vital knowledge on the processes that drive mineralisation . In conjunction, I am working on numerical models of fluid flow in the Sydney Basin to understand groundwater dynamics in response to landscape evolution.
