My research focuses on the formation and chemical evolution of the Earth, as well as the modern state of its interior, by investigating phase diagrams and equations of state of Earth materials, metal–silicate partitioning at high pressures, and the chemistry of planetary accretion. Using diamond anvil cells and laser-heating to experimentally recreate the high pressures (up to >150 GPa) and high temperatures (several thousand K) of the Earth's deep interior, combined with numerical simulations of accretion and differentiation, I study the physical and chemical properties of Earth materials and the process of core formation.
