Current members of my research group
Kiran Chotalia
Postdoctoral Research Associate
(June 2020 - present)
I’m a geodynamicist using ASPECT to understand mixing in the lower mantle. The picture on the left shows me at AGU 2018 presenting some of my PhD work. Find out more about me here.
Arushi Saxena
Postdoctoral Research Associate
(June 2020 - present)
My research focuses on setting up present-day global mantle numerical models based on physical parameters inferred from seismic tomography, faults database, and plate motion. Find out more about me here.
Ranpeng Li
PhD Student
(August 2021 - present)
I am studying the influence of phase transitions on mantle plumes and convection. My interest also includes incorporating petrological and geochemical data into modelling.
Martina Monaco
PhD Student
(June 2021 - present)
My research is concerned with elucidating the nature of the X-Discontinuity beneath the Hawaiian hotspot. I use ASPECT to model the plume ascent and the materials entrained in it, and then eventually compare these quantitative results with Seismology data. More details about my project may be found here.
