My research interests include small and large-scale aspects of Earth dynamics, and also the behaviour of metals and ceramics.

* Modelling of diffusion creep (pressure solution, Coble creep, Nabarro-Herring creep) in single and multiphase systems (rocks, metals and ceramics)
* Observation and modelling of dislocation creep, recovery and recrystallisation in single and multiphase systems (rocks, metals and ceramics)
* Observation and modelling of solid state phase transformations in single and multiphase systems (rocks, metals and ceramics)
* Applications of Electron Backscatter Diffraction in Earth sciences, metallurgy and materials science
* Fluid flow and chemical reaction in deforming systems
* Orogenic evolution and the significance of high pressure metamorphic rocks
