University of Cambridge

I am a structural geologist focusing on the materials science of rock deformation. I completed my PhD at the University of Leeds in 2010 and undertook a postdoc at the University of Oxford. I was an Assistant Professor at Utrecht University until 2020 and am currently a University Lecturer at the University of Cambridge. My research is centred on using HR-EBSD to map dislocations and their stress fields in deformed minerals and decipher their role in controlling the rheological properties of rocks at high temperatures.
