Personal Statement
I am a volcanologist who uses a combination of field studies and laboratory experiments to investigate the physical processes that operate during the transport and eruption of magma. Current research projects and interests include the transport of mantle cargo during kimberlite eruptions, inertial magma fragmentation and the generation of volcanic ash. Although largely focussed on volcanic problems I enjoy crossing traditional discipline boundaries and have collaborated with engineers, material scientists and ecologists.
Education/Employment (reverse chronological order):
