ES5032 Analytical Sciences, Module Coordinator

ES5050 Earth's Greatest Hits

ES5014 The Chemistry of the Solar System

Research areas

My main scientific focus concerns understanding the processes by which solar systems and planets form. Primarily, I develop new analytical techniques to measure elemental and isotopic compositions in terrestrial samples, meteorites and their components. I examine the processing of presolar material in the early Solar System on its journey to become the planets and asteroids we know today.
