I’m an experimental geochemist investigating how volatile elements link Earth’s deep interior to its surface environment. Using high-temperature, high-pressure experiments alongside chemical thermodynamics, I quantify the behaviour of sulfur and the halogens under magmatic conditions.

I use these constraints to forward-model magmatic differentiation and degassing, predicting how volatile speciation and partitioning evolve as melts ascend, crystallise, and exsolve fluids. Coupling these models to measurements of volcanic gases and natural glasses provides a powerful way to constrain volatile fluxes to the surface, and to connect deep Earth processes to the chemistry of eruptions, the atmosphere through time, and the conditions under which Earth formed and became habitable.
