My research focuses on the development of magmatic ore deposits, primarily through the lens of thermodynamic modelling. Our research group applies this approach to a range of ore systems, primarily copper, lithium and rare earth elements. My current work explores the behaviour of lithium within magmatic and hydrothermal systems, with a view to understanding how lithium becomes enriched within granitic rocks. This is crucial for targeting new lithium deposits, as well as better understanding existing lithium reserves, to help meet the rapidly growing lithium demand with the green energy transition.
I am currently in collaboration with Cornish Lithium, a lithium exploration company based in Cornwall, UK.
I am also one of the conveners for the Cambridge Volcanology Group
