Assistant Professor in Geoscience and Head of The Southeast Asia Research Group | Expert in Southeast Asia Geology, Sedimentary Provenance and Geoscience for the Energy Transition (CCS, Geothermal and Energy Critical Elements).
As an Assistant Professor in Geoscience at Heriot-Watt University’s GeoEnergy Engineering Department, I specialise in Southeast Asian geology with a focus on advancing energy solutions through innovative geoscientific research. Since 2015, I have been investigating regional geological patterns, particularly in sedimentary provenance, palaeogeographies, and energy-critical elements.
I am actively seeking sponsors and collaborators to join me in this exciting, impactful research. If you're interested in discussing potential partnerships, exploring new opportunities in the energy sector, or if you would like to join the SEARG Joint Industry Project, please feel free to get in touch.
Current Projects:
Sedimentary Provenance Analysis for Southeast Asia
I lead research initiatives that analyse sedimentary provenance across Southeast Asia using light and heavy minerals, U-Pb zircon, and foraminifera data to better understand regional geological patterns. These data-driven insights help inform resource management and energy exploration in the region.
GIS-Driven Palaeogeography Development for Energy Applications
Utilise GIS-based models (ArcGIS, QGIS) to develop palaeogeographies that support energy transition efforts in Southeast Asia with a focus on subsurface mapping to identify suitable areas for Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) and geothermal energy development.
Mapping Energy Critical Elements for Sustainable Resource Management
I conduct research on stream sediment mapping to predict the distribution of energy-critical elements, contributing to a sustainable approach to energy resource extraction.
