Biography

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher in Geology from the University of Adelaide. My primary strengths are geochemistry and geochronology in the context of petroleum and mineralized systems. My work looks to constrain the formation and evolution of hydrocarbon-bearing and base-metal hosting Proterozoic sedimentary basins in northern Australia. This project is in collaboration with the Mineral Exploration CRC and a number of Australian Research Council Linkage industry and government partners such as the Northern Territory Geological Survey, Santos, Imperial Oil, Teck, BHP, and CSIRO.
