Research interests

I am a Research Fellow with a keen interest in biomineralization. My research interest lies in the intersection of bio-minerals and bio-materials with environmental processes. I currently work at the ANU Research School of Earth Sciences, where I investigate the micro- to nano-scale growth processes of mollusk shells, fish otoliths, corals, and pearls.
