Antoniette is a geodynamicist specializing in the use of numerical models to investigate the relationships between interior dynamics and surface evolution of planetary bodies. She received a Class BA (Hons.) Geography from the University of Malta in 2011 and completed her M.Sc. in Geoscience (with Distinction) and Ph.D. in Computational Geophysics at University College London (UCL) in 2013 and 2020, respectively. After her doctorate, Antoniette was a joint Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Texas at Austin, where she worked at the Institute of Geophysics and the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at the Jackson School of Geosciences until 2022. She joined the University of Glasgow as a Lecturer in Computational Geoscience in 2022. Her research interests focus on the dynamics of deep slabs and their evolving relationship with the surrounding mantle, as well as surface evolution on planetary bodies. Key areas of her work include slab processes, subduction initiation, whole mantle convection, and planetary geodynamics, with applications in critical metal formation.
