About

I am an observational Geophysicist with a wide range of experience but specialising in both seismological and electromagnetic imaging. I also have a background in civil engineering so maintain a keen interest in seismic hazards. Over the last 10 years I have been running the Australian Seismometers in Schools network, both managing the network and outreach activities. 

 

 

  • PhD in Geophysics at Victoria University of Wellington “Crust and upper mantle inhomogeneities beneath western North Island, New Zealand: Evidence from seismological and electromagnetic data”
  • Bachelor of Engineering (Civil) at University of Canterbury
