What I'm looking for

I am seeking a research or simulation role in sustainable energy and EOR, with opportunities for collaborative projects, and impactful innovation.

I am a Petroleum Engineer with a Ph.D. and over a decade of combined academic and industry experience focused on sustainable energy and enhanced oil recovery (EOR). I have lectured on reservoir engineering, petrophysics and well logging, integrated petroleum software into curricula, supervised MSc/BSc research, and earned academic distinctions for my research on RF heating and solvent extraction.

In industry I lead experimental and simulation studies in EM heating, hydrogen generation, pyrolysis and ore leaching as Director of Resource Modelling & Simulation, and serve as Country Manager while consulting on thermal and chemical EOR projects. I collaborate with academic partners, publish in peer-reviewed journals, and seek a tertiary-level teaching role that combines instruction, student supervision and applied research in sustainable energy.
