I am a geochemist specialising in stable isotope fractionation. In my doctoral research at the University of Wollongong I explored using isotope fractionation in light elements as a tracer for environmental processes such as bushfires. I joined UniSA as a postdoctoral research associate in 2024. Currently, I am investigating controlled isotope fractionation in heavy elements that may benefit industrial demands.
