معرفی
Prof. Lidunka Vočadlo is a Professor of Mineral Physics at the Department of Earth Sciences, University College London. Her work focuses on computational mineral physics, particularly the thermoelastic and rheological properties of materials under extreme conditions relevant to planetary cores. She leads research into Earth’s core dynamics, planetary ices, and volatile distribution in deep-Earth environments. Her group, Crystallography and Mineral Physics, applies ab initio simulations and experiments to study iron alloys, planetary materials, and their roles in planetary evolution models.
Education and affiliations are not explicitly detailed here, but her research emphasizes high-pressure, high-temperature phenomena. Key research themes include the Earth’s core-water reservoir, light elements in planetary cores, and isotope fractionation during core-mantle differentiation. She teaches the course GEOL0012: Global Geophysics.
Her publications span computational modeling of iron alloys, planetary ices, and geochemical tracers, with a focus on advancing understanding of core-mantle interactions and planetary formation.
Labs/Teams: Active member of the Crystallography and Mineral Physics Group at UCL Earth Sciences.
