I have been interested in fibre arts and garment making for over 10 years. My creations primarily use second hand and upcycled materials, with sustainable making as a foundation for my practice. I am inspired and encouraged by my grandmothers, and by the worldwide community of makers.
The intersection between fibre arts and science is strong, if not always apparent. Sewing is essentially engineering 3D objects using flat, soft materials to fit complex curving shapes. Knitting designs are mathematical in nature, with patterns and geometry key to a successful garment.
I am a postdoctoral researcher in planetary geology and cosmochemistry. I have broad research interests, including the distribution and behaviour of elements during the formation of the protoplanetary disk, core formation, the behaviour of elements during impact events and planetary differentiation, and the formation and evolution of planetary bodies.
I am a postdoctoral research fellow based at the School of Earth, Atmosphere and Environment at Monash University and affiliated with School of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Curtin University.
I began my undergraduate degree at the University of Wollongong before transferring to the Australian National University (ANU). In 2014, I graduated with First Class Honours in a Bachelor of Science (Advanced), receiving the University Medal. I continued on at the ANU where I completed my PhD titled "Metal on the surface of asteroids: geochemistry, petrogenesis and thermal history of IIE iron meteorites and their relationship to ordinary chondrites".
My primary role now is as a geochemist in the Desert Fireball Network. I use a variety of geochemical and petrographical techniques along with physical and chemical modelling to understand the formation and evolution of planetary materials.
