Dr Thomas Duvernay

Doctor of Philosophy, Earth Sciences (ANU, 2023)
Postdoctoral Fellow

I completed a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Science at Université Paris-Diderot (now Université Paris-Cité) and Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris (IPGP). I carried out research projects under the supervision of Cinzia Farnetani, Angela Limare and Alexandre Fournier, as well as Maxim Ballmer during a five-month internship at ETH Zürich. I have just submitted my Ph.D. thesis after five years of study under the supervision of Rhodri Davies at the Australian National University.

Research interests

I am an enthusiastic geodynamicist passionate about mantle convection and its link to several processes at Earth's surface, such as volcanism. My interest lies in large-scale numerical simulations of Earth's mantle that use advanced computing methods to solve complex systems of physical equations governing the system's evolution.
