Research Interests
My research interests encompass a wide range of applied mathematics and theoretical geophysics. I use techniques from continuum mechanics, numerical analysis and statistics to tackle various problems in the Earth Sciences. I recently completed my PhD, studying the "Geochemical Implications of Stirring and Mixing in the Earth's Mantle". I was supervised by Dan McKenzie at the Bullard Laboratories, Earth Sciences, and Peter Haynes at DAMTP.
