On the stress dependence of the elastic tensor
My supervisor and I have derived a new expression for the elastic tensor as a function of equilibrium stress, with a view towards both forward- and inverse-modelling. This work revisits papers of Dahlen, Tromp and others, but approaches the problem from a slightly different perspective.

Written with my supervisor David, this paper forms the basis of our approach to solving numerically the equations of motion of gravitationally-interacting elastic bodies. More to follow on this theme in the coming months; if you want a flavour, then have a look at my poster from EGU 2018. This was one of the two papers to win the 2019 Student Author Award from GJI.
2018
A quiet year as regards the writing of papers — but lots of code was written!
2017
This paper is the result of research I conducted with Professor Clifford Martin Will in the summer of 2016 after I had finished my third year of undergraduate study. General Relativity remains a subject very close to my heart!
