Biography

I grew up in North Queensland where I completed my schooling and subsequent undergraduate education at James Cook University. I was very fortunate to have wonderful role models of family and teachers who instilled in me a desire to learn more and understand the world better; as well as a passion to pass on my knowledge to others. Through their guidance and support I realised that I wanted to pursue physical sciences, which led to my undergraduate degree and my MASt in Physics at Cambridge. During my master’s year I decided I wanted to pursue a PhD in Earth Sciences because, remarkably, there is still much we don't understand about the Earth! My project will examine new techniques for the efficient computation of whole Earth oscillations generated by the largest Earthquakes. I hope that this will lead to new understanding of currently poorly characterised and potentially compositionally distinct parts of the Earth. This work will influence broader aspects of Earth Sciences, hopefully leading to better understanding of the processes of the deep interior. I am deeply honoured to have been chosen as a Gates Cambridge scholar and look forward to the opportunity to interact and collaborate with fellow scholars.
