Joining Macquarie University's Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences and the Macquarie Planetary Research Centre, I led a transdisciplinary research group and managed a new isotope geochemistry laboratory. Our work pushed the limits of precision in novel stable isotope systems to probe the evolution of Earth and the early solar system. In this role I supervised graduate students and taught undergraduate classes.

Paris, France

Working with Prof. Frédéric Moynier and his group, I carried out research in multiple themes: the early solar system, the formation of and evolution of Earth and the terrestrial planets, and the application of geochemical tools to biological samples as a means to better understand certain diseases (e.g., Alzheimer's disease).

Copenhagen Area, Denmark

As a postdoc in Prof. Martin Bizzarro's multidisciplinary group combining astronomers, astrophysicists, and geochemists/cosmochemists, I developed and applied geochemical techniques to research the accretion and differentiation of the terrestrial planets.
