I am an isotope geochemist and planetary scientist. My work has ranged from research into coral health decline and causes in the Caribbean, undertaken at National Oceanography Centre, University of Southampton, through to measuring the isotopic composition of sub-micron sized stardust grains left over from the formation of our Solar System, undertaken at the Bristol Isotope Group, University of Bristol.

During my PhD, I helped develop novel techniques on a new prototype of mass spectrometer gaining extensive experience in an emerging, innovative area of inorganic mass spectrometry.

More recently during my Postdoctoral projects I have been consolidating the use of novel isotope systems, such as Hafnium and Platinum, to investigate the formation of our planet from magma ocean crystallisation to planetary core formation.
