2026-Present
Research Associate in Environmental Geochemistry - The University of Glasgow (Scotland, UK) - James Watt School of Engineering.
Principal Investigator: C. Gauchotte-Lindsay.
Subject: Biomineral carbonation and soil remediation. The role focuses on developing chemical and microbially induced carbonation strategies to permanently sequester CO₂ while immobilising contaminants in degraded urban soils. The research integrates geochemical, mineralogical, and microstructural characterisation with pilot-scale field implementation, aiming to restore ecological function and enhance the climate mitigation potential of urban sites. This work bridges fundamental geochemical processes with applied solutions for sustainable land management and urban ecosystem restoration.
2024-2025
Geochemical Analyst Consultant - Flux.
Material characterization of the feedstocks: Responsible for recommending, arranging, and conducting various geochemical analysis at Heriot-Watt University on behalf of Flux. The aim of the analysis is to better understand potential feedstocks for Enhanced Rock Weathering. During the role a range analysis of feedstocks is completed including ICP-MS (via BGS). Raman spectroscopy, PXRD, XRF, SEM and BET.
2022-2025
Postdoctoral Researcher in Greenhouse Gas Removal - Heriot-Watt University (Scotland, UK) - School of Engineering and Physical Sciences, Research Centre for Carbon Solutions.
Principal Investigator: P. Renforth.
Subject: Novel method of ocean alkalinity enhancement, particularly through the creation of new materials such as ikaite, focussing on material characterisation and geochemical kinetics.
2017-2021
Graduate Teaching Assistant and PhD student in Geology - University of Hull (England, UK) - Department of Geography, Geology and Environment.
Supervisors: M. Rogerson, W. Mayes, T. Prior.
Subject: Renewing approaches to understanding the minerals and waters at alkaline waste sites.
