 It's fun to discover new things, it's fun to design experiments and think about what might have happened on other planets or inside the Earth or in volcanoes, and it's exciting every day. I study the interactions between volcanic gases and volcanic glasses and melts. In particular we're looking at volcanic processes which happened several billion years ago on the Moon and we're trying to study that by looking at the actual samples from the Apollo missions 15 and 17. RSES has an incredible group of academics in all sorts of fields across Earth science and it's a very relaxed atmosphere but at the same time everyone is doing very good work. The facilities are really good, that's the one thing. And the other thing is that they're very easily accessible for students. You can actually get trained on all these machines and analytical and experimental methods. I felt it was really easy to integrate here. There are so many international students that it's for everyone a new experience and that's just a very unique place to study and work.
