Rhys Hawkins

Rhys Hawkins serves as a Jubilee Joint Fellow at the Australian National University with dual affiliation in the School of Computing and Research School of Earth Sciences. His interdisciplinary work integrates computational geophysics, applied mathematics, and machine learning to determine Earth's composition across multiple scales.

His academic background includes:

• Undergraduate degrees in Computer Science and Engineering
• MPhil in Computer Science
• PhD in Geophysics (2018)

Prior to doctoral studies, Hawkins spent over a decade as a research programmer at ANU School of Computing, CSIRO, and Australia's National Computational Infrastructure. His current research focuses on Bayesian inference methodologies and high-performance computational modeling applied to geophysical systems, with significant contributions to Earth systems analysis and disaster risk resilience frameworks.

He actively participates in research groups centered on Earth systems dynamics and vulnerability assessment, addressing critical challenges in climate and disaster management through computational approaches.
