About
I am a lecturer in Geology and Geophysics in the School of Ocean and Earth Science working at the interface between environmental geoscience, geophysics, and geotechnics in the marine environment.
I am interested in a range of topics including solutions to accelerate the green energy transition from offshore renewables, climate change mitigation techniques, and natural greenhouse gas emissions from marine sources.
My main research focus is on climate and human-induced abiotic changes in marine sediments. I develop and apply analytical and numerical modelling techniques at different spatial (grain-core-basin) and temporal scales (seconds to centuries) to explore the behaviour of the non-living part below our oceans. Applications include naturally induced methane emissions from gas hydrates and geological CO2 storage.
Currently, I am also focusing on optimizing the value of geoscience information to reduce the time and costs of offshore sediment investigations, ultimately, to accelerate the green energy transition. I am exploring hybrid physics-based and data-driven solutions for joint processing and interpretation of geophysical and geotechnical data in offshore wind developments.
