Profile

Biography

I am an experimental geoscientist with wide-ranging experience in hydro(geo)mechanical, geophysical and geochemical techniques and proven skills in water-engineering. I use these skills to expand the OBG - Marine Geosystems subgroup research expertise into climate change mitigation and cleaner energy strategies, including CO2- and H2-seawater-rock interactions underground during CO2 and H2 storage, reservoirs characterisation/monitoring during production/injection activities and seafloor minerals and energy resources quantification.

Roles

I lead and develop an interdisciplinary research strategy that includes designing multisensory experimental setups, generating comprehensive datasets and coding novel software for data interpretation, to generate cutting-edge outcomes for multiple projects funded by EPSRC, NERC, EU and Research Council of Norway (see projects section).
