Professor Hrvoje Tkalčić FAA, a researcher at The Australian National University (ANU), has commenced his Australian Laureate Fellowship to lead a research group focused on deep Earth and planetary seismology. The fellowship, awarded by the Australian Research Council, supports his work on understanding the internal structures of Earth and other planets, including Mars.
Tkalčić's research aims to inspire the next generation of scientists by exploring seismic activity and composition of planetary bodies. His team will use data from Earth-based seismometers and instruments on Mars, such as those from NASA's InSight mission, to compare and contrast planetary interiors.
The Laureate Fellowship provides funding for five years, enabling Tkalčić to mentor early-career researchers and advance knowledge in geophysics. His previous work includes studies on Earth's core and mantle, contributing to models of planetary formation.
