I am a volcano scientist with a passion for understanding magma storage and transport through the Earth's upper mantle and crust. I develop high-resolution geochemical techniques to interrogate magmatic crystals and their carrier melts, providing a better understanding of past eruptions as keys to future activity. My team's research constrains the drivers of volcanic eruptions and the processes leading to the accumulation of metals that are critical for the green energy transition.
I joined UQ in July 2016, after holding a postdoctoral fellowship at Trinity College Dublin. I undertook my postgraduate research in Spain and The Netherlands (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam) and received my PhD from the University of Zaragoza in December 2013. I was born and raised by the sea, in San Sebastián, and I am fortunate to study a wide range of active and past volcanic systems in different tectonic settings around the world.
