I am aÌýÌýat theÌý.

MyÌýresearchÌýis focused onÌývolcanic hazardsÌýandÌýresources. I use both field and lab approaches to understand the processes that drive magmatic systems, and how we can safely and sustainably develop the resources they offer.

I lead theÌýSt ÌÇÐÄlogo Volcanic Eruptions and Impacts (StA-VEI) GroupÌýand the international working groupÌýÌý(funded byÌý).

I amÌýpassionateÌýaboutÌýunderstanding processes that trigger large volcanic events, and theirÌýconsequences for climate and society.ÌýUsing the knowledge from the past we can better prepare society for future eruptions.

I am always interested in supportingÌýpostgraduate students and postdoc fellowshipsÌýto work on volcanism and magmatic processes. For more information please email me or take a look at ourÌýSchool website for current positions.
