Steven Reddy
Steven Reddy is a Professor and Dean of Research at Curtin University's Faculty of Science and Engineering. He holds a Ph.D. in Geology from Leeds University (UK) and a B.Sc. (Hons) in Geology from the University of Nottingham (UK). His research focuses on structural geology, geochronology, and advanced mineral characterization techniques.
Research Interests
Reddy's work integrates quantitative microstructural analysis, atom probe tomography, and electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) to study crustal deformation, meteorite impacts, and ore-forming processes. Key areas include nanoscale material transfer, high-pressure rock exhumation, and Paleoproterozoic Earth evolution. His current initiatives include the Geoscience Atom Probe project, advancing atom probe microscopy in geology.
Publications
His recent research highlights include studies on asteroid Bennu's evaporite sequences, arsenic-catalyzed gold remobilization, and melt-mediated zircon re-equilibration from the Chernobyl reactor. Articles frequently address mineral deformation mechanisms, impact geochronology, and astrobiological mineralogical processes.
Labs & Initiatives
As Science Leader of the Geoscience Atom Probe initiative, he pioneers atom probe applications in geology, collaborating on projects like mineral defect analysis and extraterrestrial sample characterization. His team develops novel methodologies for trace element and isotope analysis at nanoscale resolutions.
