Profile

I completed the MGeophys Geophysical Sciences programme here at the University of Leeds graduating in 2014, having spent one year at Colorado School of Mines in the USA. I went on to work in seismic aquisition before returning to Leeds to work as a part time Graduate Teaching Assistant for the Geophysical Sciences programme, and pursue a part time PhD.

My studies focus on using seismology to investigate the tectonic structure and processes of West Antarctica. I am currently using a joint inversion of receiver functions and Rayleigh Wave phase dispersion curves to image crustal structure across the region.
