My research is in geochemistry and primarily focusses on cation behaviour in sphalerite (ZnS). This includes:

• The localisation and abundace of critical metals such as In, Ga, Ge, Tl, Cd;
• Investigating oxidation states and lattice constraints on elements recovered from sphalerite;
• Experimental synthesis of sphalerite with metallic solid solutions.

Secondary research includes:

• The analysis and synthesis of sulfide calibration standards for laser ablation mass spectrometry (eg: LA-ICP-MS);
• Lattice constructs and bonding arrangements of elements in sulfides.
