My primary research interest is in modelling of the Earth's surface evolution driven by mantle convection and its interaction with the crust and surface process controlled by the atmosphere. I believe that the integration of independent geophysical techniques and geological observations provides a roadmap for a greatly improved understanding of the tectonic evolution of our planet.

A key ingredient in my research is the incorporation of observational constraints from varying fields such as seismology, geodesy, sedimentology, geochemistry, structural geology and geomorphology.    This extensive list is made possible through a number of key collaborations accross different fields that I have formed over the past few years.
