Introduction

I am currently a post-doctorate research associate in the Cosmogenic Isotope Laboratory at Newcastle University, working with Anne-Sophie Meriaux. I'm also part of the Earth Surface Processes Research group in Physical Geography.

Honours and Awards

EGU Young Scientist Outstanding Poster Presentation 2010: "Deglaciation chronology of the Ecrins-Pelvoux massif (French Western Alps) revealed from new ¹⁰Be and ²⁶Al Cosmic Ray Exposure ages" Web page - PDF

Research Interests

My research interests are focused on understanding the processes that shape the Earth’s surface. They include interactions between tectonic, climate and earth-surface processes, glacial chronology, alpine and cold environments geomorphology, landslides. I mostly interested in applications of in-situ terrestrial cosmogenic nuclides (TCN) in these domains. My present research is also strongly oriented towards both theoretical and analytical development of cosmogenic nuclide methodologies.
