I am a phyicist who works on Geological and Geophysical problems using mathematical, statistical and computational approaches to understand underlying processes. My core reasearch interests cover earthquake seismology, natural hazards, complex systems, mountain building and landscape evolution. I have also worked on applied geoscience projects including carbon capture and storage.
The solid earth defines many aspects the economic, industrial and social norms of our everyday lives. It provides both physical and energy resources, it provides places where we can live and it is a source of natural disasters which irreversibly change peoples lives.
Addressing all of these opportunities and risks requires a sound understanding of the physical processes behind them as well as an appreciation of inherent uncertainty that the Earth will always throws at us.
I have three main research focusses
1. Earthquake Physics
2. Collisional Mountain Building and Foreland Basin Evolution
3. Carbon Capture and Storage
