Research Summary:

Within our Crystallography and Mineral Physics Group, the main focus of my research has been the use of both computer simulation and experiment to determine the thermoelastic and rheological properties of solid and liquid iron and iron alloys at the extreme conditions of pressure and temperature relevant to the Earth's core (up to 6000 K and up to 360 GPa). Along with Dominic Fortes, I have also set up our Planetary Ices Group which provides a focus for our research into the thermoelastic and rheological properties of planetary forming materials and the subsequent incorporation of our results into planetary evolution models.
