Vox aims to support mineral explorers by providing robust geophysical models and integrated interpretations
Our Team
Vox geophysicists are PhD-level experts with internationally recognised skills in their fields.
Vox Chief Geophysicist and Managing Director, Dr Kate Selway, gained her PhD working with MT data in 2006. Until founding Vox in 2022, Kate worked with MT as a university researcher and lecturer, including at the University of Adelaide, Yale, Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory (Columbia University), the University of Oslo, Macquarie University and the University of South Australia, and is currently an Adjunct Professor at the University of Tasmania.
Vox Principal Geophysicist Dr Teagan Blaikie gained her PhD in 2014, focused on the interpretation and modelling of potential field data. She began her career as a postdoctoral researcher at CSIRO, embedded within the Northern Territory Geological Survey in Darwin, before relocating to Perth to take up a role as a Research Scientist with CSIRO. During this time, her work applied gravity and magnetic interpretation to better understand the structural architecture of the Southern McArthur Basin and its implications for SEDEX deposit formation. She also delivered regional-scale lithostructural interpretation and tectonic correlations across the Tanami Region and the northwest Aileron province. In 2021, Teagan moved into consulting as Principal Interpretation Geoscientist at Southern Geoscience Consultants, specialising in the geological interpretation and modelling of potential field data across a wide range of terranes and commodities. She also coordinated and helped teach training workshops on the geological interpretation of aeromagnetic data. Teagan retains a casual lecturing role at Curtin University, teaching magnetic and gravity interpretation and modelling to the next generation of geophysicists.
Vox Senior Geophysicist Dr Thalia Avilés gained her PhD from CISESE, Mexico in 2025, having previously worked in geothermal exploration using TEM and MT data. Thalia’s research has focussed on marine and geothermal systems, including marine cruises to the Gulf of California and the central Pacific Ocean, research into Cooper Basin geothermal systems, and electrical surveys for landslide risk assessment. Thalia is based in Mexico and, as a native Spanish speaker, is available to assist with operations throughout the Americas.
Expert Analysis and Integrated interpretations
Exploration requires every scrap of data to be understood, taken advantage of, and integrated.
Vox are passionate about helping explorers make the most out of their geophysical data. By integrating geophysical, petrophysical, geological and geochemical data, Vox have the skills to produce meaningful, integrated interpretations. Our goal is to help explorers move beyond using their geophysical data to simply target anomalies. Instead, we can help explorers understand what their geophysical data are telling them about the composition and structure of the subsurface and to identify regions where geological processes may have led to mineralisation.
