Research
I am a global seismologist, studying the structure and dynamics of the deep Earth by using waves from strong earthquakes which are recorded across the globe. The interests of my research group include:
- Constraining anomalous structures above the core-mantle boundary and their role in the history and dynamics of the Earth; currently funded by an ERC Starting Grant, ZoomDeep (2019-2023)
- Mapping seismic discontinuities to infer temperature and heterogeineity in the mantle transition zone and understand the role of the mantle transition zone in global dynamics;
- Studying seismic anisotropy caused by flow in the lowermost mantle;
- Contributing to open source toolkits to combine the knowlede and constraints from different disciplines, see www.burnman.org.
