Lecturer in Hydrogeology, School of Environmental and Life Sciences, University of Newcastle

I am a PhD qualified geo-environmental scientist and engineer with advanced expertise in hydrogeology. I love to get my hands dirty in the lab and field to make real-world measurements and observations. My passion lies in designing specialist field and laboratory experiments, acquiring, compiling and interpreting geoscience information using advanced data science tools provided through the Python programming language. My work aims to develop and apply methods for the quantification of subsurface processes and properties, leading to improved fundamental process understanding. This includes water flows across the surface/subsoil boundary and the impact of underground resource extraction. Understanding and quantifying such processes must underpin sustainable management of Earth's resources. I believe in the power of collaboration and lead projects across countries and disciplines.
