Energy, minerals, and subsurface systems in fold–thrust belts, foreland basins, and collisional margins
My research bridges fundamental questions in tectonics and basin evolution with applied subsurface challenges relevant to energy, mineral resources, and the energy transition. I welcome collaborations on hydrocarbon systems, mineral exploration, geothermal energy, geologic hydrogen, and subsurface storage, especially in structurally complex settings such as fold–thrust belts, foreland basins, ophiolite belts, suture zones, and collisional margins.
My academic research is complemented by previous hydrocarbon-sector internship experience, including work with ExxonMobil and the Texas Oil and Gas Institute. These experiences provided applied exposure to petroleum geology, exploration concepts, basin analysis, and subsurface resource systems.
My profile is further strengthened by training in management, oil and gas, energy law, and resource governance, helping me connect geological research with exploration risk, regulatory frameworks, and strategic decision-making in the energy and natural-resource sectors.
