I am a marine geoscientist at the University of Tasmania’s Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies. My research explores how Earth’s tectonic plates and mantle dynamics shape ocean basins and continents, particularly Antarctica and the Southern Ocean. I use marine geophysical data to investigate plate movements, mid-ocean ridges, and how these influence things like the onset of Earth’s mightiest current, the Antarctic Circumpolar Current.

About the BEAKER STREET ROVING SCIENTIST PROGRAM
Each August, hundreds of Roving Scientists descend upon Hobart, filling up pubs and chatting to strangers as part of Beaker Street Festival. Discover a new world down the lens of microscope, and joining the least-boring bar conversations you’ve ever heard and these free (the chats – not the drinks) events.
For Scientists, Beaker Street’s Roving Scientist Program offers an excellent outreach, professional development, and networking opportunity. It’s the nerdiest and funnest way to share your research with the public, expand your network, and be inspired by leaders in all sectors of science and science communication.
