Christoph Schrank

Christoph Schrank is an Associate Professor at QUT's School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, specializing in structural geology and rock physics. His research combines field studies with synchrotron-based experimental techniques to investigate deformation processes in tectonic settings.

Research focuses on:

• Synchrotron analysis of rock deformation
• Tectonic modeling of fault systems
• Geothermal energy applications
• Pattern formation in porous media

Publication analysis shows emphasis on experimental rock physics (40%), microstructural analysis (30%), and Precambrian tectonics (20%). His work frequently integrates advanced imaging techniques with mechanical modeling.

Funded projects include ARC DP170104550 (pressure waves in earthquake mechanics) and DP140103015 (finite strain modeling). Coordinates Honours program for Earth Science and teaches structural geology field methods.
