Biography

Neil Bennett is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Toronto. His research primarily focuses on Economic Geology, Geochemistry, and Petrology, emphasizing the distribution of elements through geologic processes. He employs high-pressure temperature experiments to obtain insights into petrology studies that range from microscopic to planetary scales. His work has significant implications for understanding core-formation conditions and the impact of core-mantle interactions on Earth's evolution. Bennett's upcoming research will investigate trace element partitioning in highly enriched melts, fluoride melt formation in the upper mantle, and the isotopic fractionation of iron meteorites. He holds a PhD in Geology from the University of Toronto and an MSc in Geology from the University of Birmingham.
