Research interests
I joined the University of Bristol in October 2020 as a Post-Doctoral Research Associate on Induced Seismicity, to work with Dr. James Verdon and the Bristol and Oxford Passive Seismic (BOPS) group. Before that, I worked with the Microseismic Industry Consortium in Calgary, Canada from 2016 to 2020, first as a PhD student in Geophysics at the University of Calgary, and then as a Post-Doctoral Research Associate at the same University. My research has focused on developing robust methods and algorithms for seismic data processing and modelling applied to reservoir characterization, and hazard analysis of induced seismicity associated with the development of conventional and unconventional oil and gas, carbon storage, and geothermal reservoirs.
