I investigate how mountain belts, sedimentary basins, and deep-Earth geodynamic processes interact through time, with a focus on the Zagros orogen and the Arabia–Eurasia collision zone. My work integrates field geology, structural geology, stratigraphy, thermochronology, geochronology, geochemistry, and geophysical datasets to reconstruct the evolution of collisional mountain belts and their resource-relevant subsurface systems.
Research theme
Research theme
- Orogenic evolution and continental collision
Timing, kinematics, and geodynamic drivers of the Arabia–Eurasia collision and the evolution of the Zagros orogen.
- Foreland basin evolution and sediment routing
How tectonics, dynamic topography, uplift, and climate influence stratigraphy, provenance, sediment dispersal, and basin architecture.
- Thermochronology, exhumation, and slab dynamics
Linking cooling histories, deformation, uplift, and deep lithospheric processes to reconstruct the evolution of collisional mountain belts.
Applied relevance
My research has direct relevance to subsurface energy and resource systems, including hydrocarbon exploration, critical mineral potential, geothermal systems, geologic hydrogen, and geological storage. By integrating structural geology, basin analysis, stratigraphy, thermochronology, geochronology, geochemistry, and field-based mapping, I aim to understand how mountain belts, sedimentary basins, ophiolites, magmatic systems, and lithospheric processes control resource distribution, fluid pathways, and subsurface architecture.
My applied geoscience profile is strengthened by previous hydrocarbon-sector internship experience and additional training in management, oil and gas finance, energy law, and resource governance.
I welcome academic, industry, and media inquiries related to orogenic processes, sedimentary basin evolution, hydrocarbon systems, mineral systems, ophiolites, geologic hydrogen, geothermal energy, and subsurface characterization.
