Profile
I am a PhD student within the Turbidites Research Group (TRG), researching how deep-water sediment flows interact with inactive, post-rift structures.
Prior to the PhD, I completed an MSc in Reservoir Evaluation and Management at Heriot-Watt University, which consisted of studying a 50-50 split of subsurface geology and engineering. It was a course that ultimately led me to the PhD I am now undertaking, particularly after completing my dissertation on sediment-structure interactions in the deep-marine Ainsa Basin, in the Spanish Pyrenees.
Between 2019-2022, I studied BSc Geological Sciences at Leeds, where I took interests in basin analysis, structural geology and sedimentology.
The data for my current project is predominantly subsurface data provided by the Turbidites Research Group.
