Senior🎓
Top SchoolBrenainn Simpson is a Senior Geoscientist specializing in mineral systems with a decade of practical and research experience in ore-body characterisation and magmatic evolution. Based at the Geological Survey of New South Wales and concurrently a PhD candidate at the University of Queensland, he investigates Mesozoic–Cenozoic alkaline magmatism as a REE+Zr+Hf+Nb+Ta mineral system under an ARC-funded critical metals linkage. He combines field and analytical skills with proficiency in geoscience software (including ArcGIS) and a strong background in igneous petrology and geochemistry from QUT. Experienced in management and public speaking, Brenainn translates complex geochemical signatures into exploration-focused insights. An unusual facet of his profile is a parallel foundation in education and musicology, reflecting broad communication skills and interdisciplinary thinking that inform his scientific approach.
