Biographical Text

Simon Redfern is a Professor at the Asian School of Environment and President’s Chair in Earth Sciences at NTU, where he previously served as Dean of the College of Science. He serves as Principal Investigator on Research Cluster 3: Climate Mitigation, under the Climate Transformation Programme. A mineralogist and crystallographer, his research explores the atomic-scale structures of Earth materials and their physical and chemical properties—from oceanic minerals to the planet’s deep interior. His work spans from understanding how crystal structures respond to extreme conditions, to investigating subduction zones as potential geological carbon sinks, contributing to our understanding of Earth’s carbon cycle and climate regulation over deep time.
