DEPARTMENT_STAFF.COMPLETE_CV

My research interests are focused on clastic sedimentology, petrofacies, provenance analysis, palaeoflow analysis and diagenetic evaluation of the Proterozoic and Mesozoic sediments. My research has examined the evolution of the Proterozoic and Mesozoic sediments, focussing on sedimentary provenance and depositional processes. I utilise sedimentology, diagenetic studies, clastic geochemistry, and statistical modelling to understand the sedimentary dynamics.
